One Billion Rising
On V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, the Center for Dance, Movement, and Somatic Learning joined the global One Billion Rising movement for women and those who love them to WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP, and DEMAND an end to violence.
During the improvisational workshop, participants explored what it takes to rise up against something difficult and how we can learn to recover forgotten parts of our lives through acts of serious and restorative play.
