The Body as Threshold: A Practice of Return and Departure
In this movement workshop, Butoh artist and choreographer Meshi Chavez guides participants in exploring the body as a threshold—where what is known meets what is waiting to emerge. Through guided improvisation, structure, and presence, we explore how form and constraint can unlock freedom and creative discovery. Featuring live music by composer Lisa DeGrace, this practice supports deep presence, personal exploration, and choreographic inquiry. No experience required—just a willingness to begin.

Sonic Immersion with Timothy Hill
This sonic immersion will be a soulful, intimate journey with our most primal and organic musical instrument, the human voice. As a pioneer in the art of harmonic singing (aka: overtone, or throat, singing) and a lifelong student of Hindustani vocal music (raga) as well as being a composer in his own right, Timothy has gone deeply into the interior frontiers of expression. He will accompany himself on tanpura, acoustic guitar, and lyre. To conclude, Timothy will offer a song for two to bring our expansive meditative state into a renewed, grounded awareness.

Bread & Puppet Fall Circus Tour
September 21 @ 3 PM
Ladles and Jellyspoons! The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is back with Anti-Empire Art that acknowledges our beloved Mother Dirt, who makes us and unmakes us, and who presents urgently needed domestic resurrection services for the victims of this latest genocide. We are joined by Palestinian cranes on their way to Washington to replace the excrement in the White House with organic bird droppings, green frogs who teach the art of hopping over seemingly insurmountable problems, and gaggles of kindergarten butterflies who frolic to their hearts’ desire. Join us for a serious and silly circus: Our Domestic Resurrection Revolution In Progress! -

Be the Change: Improvising Towards Justice
This is a space to practice liberation not just as an idea, but as a felt experience—starting in the body, moving through community, and rippling outward into change.
Step into a sanctuary of embodied practice where justice begins in the body. Rooted in the concept of innervism—inner work as a foundation for outer change—we’ll explore how movement can nourish our spirits, deepen connection, and seed the future we long for.
Through contact improvisation, authentic movement, and nature-based practices, we’ll resource our hearts, cultivate resilience, and vision new possibilities. Together, we’ll practice liberation as a living, breathing act—starting from within. -

Authentic Movement Fall Series
Authentic Movement is a contemplative dance practice where a mover explores the unconscious mind through self-directed, expressive movement while being witnessed with compassion and non-judgment. This relational practice of “seeing and being seen” fosters trust, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to one’s inner experience.

Somatic Movement Education Program – Muscles Module
Wildheart 183 East Road, Wallkill, NY, United StatesThe muscles establish a tensile three-dimensional grid for the balanced support and movement of the skeletal structure by providing the elastic forces that move the bones through space. They provide the dynamic contents of the outer envelope of flesh encompassing the skeletal structure. Through this system we embody our vitality, express our power, and engage in the dialogue of resistance and resolution.
