SUMMARY:Whirlpooling Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:This is a collaborative video project that explores the topic of anxiety and how it manifests in the body. \nWe are looking for a 1-3 minute video that has a movement element. You can submit your video here: https://tinyurl.com/whirlpoolingthoughts. Submission deadline February 2nd 2022.  \nMovement Prompt- contemplate what anxiety feels like in your body. Please use some keywords to influence your movement. This can be as structured or as freeform as you would like. \nFrom the project choreographer Emily Heath\, who is our intern from Bennington College: \n“For example\, when I am anxious my palms sweat\, and my heart beats quickly and as a result\, I sometimes feel short of breath. I used the image of palms sweating to create the action of rubbing my hands on my legs. This movement made its way into my dance practice. I play with repeating the movement and the speed that I do this move. I am also thinking about how I get in and out of this movement and transitions. These may be some elements that you consider as you are moving.” \n

SUMMARY:Community Conversation with Artist of the Month Kemi Yemi-Ese
DESCRIPTION:Join us to meet our February Artist of the Month\, Kemi Yemi-Ese! Kemi is a Nigerian-American artist living in Austin. She was raised in Houston\, Texas and moved to Austin eleven years ago for physical therapy and to gain independence after a car accident in 2006\, which left her with a spinal cord injury. Kemi is now a fully-licensed therapist who focuses her counseling practice on helping those with stress\, anxiety\, and childhood trauma. She is also an artist and an art teacher. Her belief is that art can promote emotional healing\, and this is core to her practice as both an artist and a therapist. Kemi will also lead us in a drawing activity. The only supplies needed are paper and markers. \nJoin the Community Conversation here on Wednesday\, February 9th @ 7-9 PM CST. \n  \n
