monthly improv/freestyle sessions.
a consciously camera free room.
all ways welcome.
inspiring company, sweet energy, divine sounds.
curated by Tali.
“I have lost and found myself over and over again in dimly lit rooms filled with diverse, loud sounds and equally curious people.
I have seen some of the best displays of artistry in these spaces, decisions made in the moment every bit as rich as those pored over for months.
The style you choose to move with is irrelevant here, the decision to be free of judgement and keen to discover is everything.
Holding space for all willing to fill it.
See you on the floor.”
