Community Engagement Movement Practice: Kimberly Bartosik

Kimberly Bartosik will be leading a set of practices involving physical explorations which open the body to sensory experience and the themes of faith, violence, life force and compassion. The practice involves physical and imagistic exercises that encourage an encounter with and connection to one’s body, history, memories, each other, the palpability of time passing, and the immediacy of being alive. Movement training is not required. Any age, race, gender, or ability are welcome.
