ssssslither hisssssss is an open level improvised movement workshop honouring the Year of the Snake. Together we will slither across surfaces, coil and unfurl, witness one another with snake eyes, and shed the last of our snake skin to ready ourselves for the upcoming lunar new year of the fire horse. This class pulls from our practices in contemporary dance, qi gong, visual art, and poetry. You can expect a gentle warm up followed by guided improvisational tasks that move us through space, across the floor, and into connection as a group. No previous dance experience is required and folks are encouraged to participate in ways that feel most accessible, joyful, and interesting to them. Rest, witnessing, and caring for each other is part of the dance we will collectively create.

SSSSSierra Megas and SSSSSarah Nash Wong are interdisciplinary artists and facilitators who’ve found kinship with each other through their practices that intersect dance and visual art, their experiences of reconnecting with their Chinese ancestry, and their mutual embodiment of yin energy. They share a desire to create spaces for community, connection, and collaborative resistance of oppression through movement exploration rooted in accessibility, curiosity, and play. Their practice centres those who have traditionally been excluded from mainstream contemporary dance spaces, particularly BIPOC, queer, trans, disabled, and intergenerational communities. They dance to return to their bodies, to remember, and to feel alive.

The seeds of this workshop were first planted at the beginning of the Year of the Snake, and came out of conversations and dances around facilitation as a portal to creating the dance spaces they wish they had. ssssslither hisssssss is their first foray into co-teaching!
