Friday, August 28 at 10am - Florwerk For the Dance-Curious with gizeh muñiz
This is a dynamic floor work technique class that invites dancers to move from their fluid body. It focuses on the somatic process of learning (or remembering) and embodying movement, which allows us to not only train the body for aesthetic and performative purposes, but for building neural pathways that can help us expand our awareness of space, time, and connection to the land. Through breath, warmth, stillness and movement, this class explores a rigorous and buoyant physicality that embraces pleasure through phrases, somatic practices and improvisation.

It is a pleasure to have gizeh back in the festival mix again this season. I enjoy watching gizeh's thoughtful approach to experimentation, collaboration, and composition evolve - her ability to respond to the present conditions is sensitive and powerful.
Zaquia Mahler Salinas
Resident Curator, ODC Theater
 

gizeh is a movement, teaching, and performing artist currently co-existing in Ohlone territory. They are dedicated to the study of being a breathing body through movement and stillness. Through their work, they create spaces that allow them to play and divest from concepts of linearity in a creative process, with the intention of practicing freedom. gizeh’s choreographic and teaching work has been shared in the United States, Mexico, and Europe in festivals such as P.O.R.C.H in Germany, Improspeckje in Croatia, GUSH in San Francisco, and 4x4 in Tijuana. gizeh has been an artist in residence at Atland Residency, CounterPulse, PUSH, BANDALOOP, and Bridge Live Arts, and is the 2023-25 Radiate fellow of RAWdance. gizeh is the curator and producer of Gatherings - a free movement workshop series in the Bay Area.

Land Acknowledgement

ODC is on the ancestral lands of the Ramaytush People in Yelamu. We pay respects to elders past and present, who are still here and part of our community. We recognize that regenerative land management is not new, but is a continuation of practices from Native cultures and from our own ancestors. It is our responsibility to steward the land with care, as our elders did before us.

These additionally subsidized tickets, available on a first-come, first-serve basis, are reserved for those for whom price is a barrier.
