Get Embodied Soul Movement (GEM) Presents:  A Dancer's Sanctuary

Get Embodied Soul Movement (GEM) is hosting a PAID leadership and artistic development sanctuary to support BIPOC, cultural, spiritual, and social dancers as they advance in their creative and professional work. These 4 day gatherings will be an opportunity to build relationships with other dancers, share and learn from other's skills and practices, while engaging in leadership and community engagement methodologies taught by fat, Black, and disabled dancer and leadership trainer, Ifasina Clear. Participants will be invited to devote some focused time on their dance practice in a supportive environment created especially for cultural, social, and spiritual dance styles. There is an option to explore the dance and arts scene in the host city of your state. Then we will gather in space together for 4 days focusing on your leadership, creative practice and artistry, and the relationship to your body-mind connection in an environment that centers fat, BIPOC, and disabled dancers. 

4 Day Intensive Dates:

  • Greenville, SC: June 9-12

The cultural exploration days are optional.  *

We will have high covid protocols. Masks are required indoors at all times. We ask that you test 5 days leading up to the beginning of the 3-4 day intensive. Attendees will be asked to test onsite when you first arrive to the 3-4 day intensive as well as daily during the entire time we are together, and you must be prepared to leave if you test positive for covid. We ask that if you begin to exhibit symptoms before arriving to the intensive, that you please stay home.

Do you consent to these Covid protocols?
 *
Do you need lodging to attend? (For people that live more than an hour from the city the intensive takes places)
 *
Travel Stipend: A mileage stipend can be provided, which will be calculated based on the distance between your home zip code and the gathering space. We are only inviting participants to attend in their home state, and thus will not provide a stipend for flights or other travel from outside the host state (NC, VA, SC). Will you need a travel stipend to attend?
*
Would you like to offer a skill share/workshop? 
We are interested in making sure we share leadership during this time and spend some time learning from each another. If you teach a dance or movement class, have skills and tips for managing certain health or physical conditions as a dancer, want to share what you learned after going through a leadership training or learning a new skill, let us know!
 
If you are excited to teach us skills like how to build a curriculum for adults, how to choose an affirming spiritual or cultural community or ANYTHING you think will help others attending the intensives feel supported in their leadership and creative development, let us know! 

Type your skill share or offering below. (Give us an idea of what you have to offer, you will have time to share a fuller description later.)
