This workshop is an interrogation of the internal and external body, exploring the histories, experiences, and traumas of the human form and body and space. Inspired by his investment in site-specific work, identity politics, and his background as a childhood competitive wrestler, Jay will guide participants through a series of explorations using text, sensory attunement, and integrating the body in space.
