A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!
An extravagant debauch of huge pianos, plush toys, cognac and ritual.
A fully transcribed, described, and open-captioned film screening that’s nothing short of their actual open heart.
