Long Table: Dance is Sex Positive

DANCE IS SEX POSITIVE

Guest Host: Sydnie Mosley
Core Participants: Antonio Ramos, luciana achugar, Ashley RT Yergens, David Thomson, Sarah A. O. Rosner

This month, our conversation turns to bodily pleasure from the perspective of dance—decolonizing sexuality as a theme in dance and empowering joy as a way of healthy sexuality.

LONG TABLE/CIRCLING BACK
Curated and hosted by Gibney Senior Curatorial Director, Eva Yaa Asantewaa, this series of conversations and experiential gatherings highlights important issues in the dance community.

Long Table conversations adopt performance artist Lois Weaver’s non-hierarchical Long Table format, encouraging informal conversation around topics of concern to the community.

Circling Back events are experiential gatherings, guided by dance community elders, in which artists reflect on themes and ideas from the previous Long Table while sharing wisdom, core values, and ways of living that inform their creative movement practice. Each circle—unique in format and content—will establish respectful, generous and generative space held by the guides and all who attend.
