Join Artist and Researcher Satya Dunning for sharing exploring the practice of rest for the Black female body and choreographic insights.

The session will begin with a short practical taster of rest during the season of autumn and the metal element. Participation and feedback from peers and other members is kindly requested.

Following a short break, Satya will articulate and talk about her reconnection with choreographic enquiry and principles shaping her practice. Satya would appreciate audience participation as a way to bring alive some of her choreographic reasoning / process.

The sharing will be followed by time for questions, reflections and conversations from other members and peers.

The material presented in this sharing comes from a recent self led residency supported by funding from Parallel x SCAN BIPOC Micro-Grants.

Satya is Director of Rehearsing for Freedom, which is currently a somatic methodology designed to free the Black female body from constraints, limits, and historical burdens. Born from a childhood steeped in awe, magic, ritual, animism, and an intimate entanglement with the elements and deep desire for body autonomy, it is a practice of finding freedom in real time through rest, taking up space, pleasure, and the cultivation of awe. It also encompasses Satya is also on a journey making sense of her choreographic practice, using movement as a way to reconnect with the sovereignty of the body in a world dominated by artificial intelligence.
