tenderizing tender-eyes-ing with Hana van der Kolk

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

I want to share some of my strategies for reenchantment: with our bodies, with each other, with the whole damn world, for awakening the eros of life itself. we'll do this through deep stillness, with jokes and image based movement instigations, by remembering our porosity, by letting ourselves be objects in the field of we, through simple work out vibes and sweating, by gently moshing and performing with and for each other in sacred/no big deal witHnessing through tender eyes. 

BIO:

I'm Hana (pronouns all). I see dance as a conduit for knowing/unknowing what is here and now, for remembering intimacy at any proximity. I'm interested in leaning towards the uncanny, the messy and the boring in that process. Based on Mohican territory (Troy, NY), I am tending land and community. I am also often in Amsterdam (NL), was based in Los Angeles for years, and have taught/performed in many places and kinds of containers. I am nearing the end of a practice-based PhD with a performance and written dissertation titled Utopia's Stamina (which I borrow from Bernadette Mayer). I hope they will be nourishing offerings! I love my dog, my friends, the forest and all shades of pink and gold.
