HEAL OUR SOULS Dance Party, Apr 1

 

Politics got you down? Dance those blues away! Re-engerize for the days ahead! The Heal Our Souls Dance Party returns! Saturday, April 1, 8pm-12am. FREE! (donations happily accepted).

 

Heal our Souls is an intentional safe space of solidarity for people of color and those at the margins of society. It is spaces like Bindlestiff Studio that spark a fire of love and nurture a spirit of resistance.

 

Music and dance have brought generations of our communities together, from the drumbeats of our ancestors to the interwoven melodies of our friends, we mourn and celebrate life with our bodies, our drums and our heartbeats. Music and dance bind us together in ceremony and celebration; in prayer and ritual; in memory and spirit. As artists, we are revitalizing our expressions in service of social justice, and we are calling on others who are building movements and are struggling in movements to be IN movement with us. As the late revolutionary Grace Lee Boggs reminds us, now is the time to “grow our souls”. We invite you to this space to help us, heal our souls.

 

DJs will spin grooves that'll make your body move. Let music and dance comfort the soul.

THE GEEK SHOW opens Apr 20!

Tix Available Now!

 

 

"What is a geek?" It's more than you think. More than a pair of glasses, packed conventions, and bright costumes. Being a geek is about passion... community... loyalty... struggle... journeys... premieres... and finales. It’s never being ashamed of what you love in this world -- even when this world doesn’t love you back.

 

"The Geek Show" is a dynamic theater experience featuring sketch comedy, scripted drama, and film to celebrate and satirize the phenomenon of "geek culture." It's designed to unite fangirls and fanboys from all geekdoms, alike, and shed light on some of the community's deeper issues and problems from outside and within. 

 

When:

April 20-29th, Thurs-Sat, 8PM @ Bindlestiff Studio.

 

Tix: 

$10 - Students/Seniors; $15 - General; $25 - Support-the-Artist
