Dance&Care

How do we care for the bodies that move and move towards care for each other?

As part of our Dance& series, we invite multi-disciplinary artist & certified Acu-Detox Practitioner Nyda Kwasowsky to guide participants through movement and medicine as forms of self and community care.

Nyda will offer a movement score to explore ones own body as well as the other bodies in the space. After a break for some tea and light snacks, Nyda will share more about her practice.

The Acu-Detox originates from the Black Panthers, Young Lords and Barefoot Doctors (China) in the 70’s to attend to community care needs during the drug epidemic in NYC.

The practice is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is held in a circle framework. Acu-Detox can support and alleviate stress, anxiety, grief, depression (self injury), anger, fear, sleep, trauma, addictions (mood, emotional distress, cravings, withdrawal), pain and so much more.

Come think through the way dance relates to care, both of the self and the community with Nyda and Dancemakers. Register at the link below!
