The Embodied Imaginary is a workshop of improvisational dance-making, embracing our body/selves as divining rods. Participants will explore where feeling meets form, dance as thinking, material beings, practice long form improvisation, consider themselves geological material, have a dance party, and use textiles as body-building objects.

- ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Meg Foley is a queer dance artist, educator, and parent who creates performances and somatic-based events as self-affirming practices. She currently researches gay and trans families and how we are formed. Her improvisational practice builds detailed movement vocabularies out of scientifically-engaged research and lived experience. Artistic collaborations include co-curating Tender Hotel, a 24-hour virtual hotel hosting rooms facilitated by 100+ international artists within Art Station Foundation’s and CounterPulse’s Grand reUnion, and a National Center for Choreography Akron Dancing Lab exploring how artistic and parenting practices overlap with fellow artist parents. She grew up in the DC area, was a creative movement baby who grew up to do a lot of club dancing, studied visual art and dance, and now is a queerdo mama, based in Philadelphia.
