Presented by CALI & CO dance with The Welcome Matt
NOV 30-Dec 2, 2023
Please join CALI & CO dance for an evening of dance, live music, community connection and transformation!
PERFECT. explores perfectionism and its impacts on the individual body, and the collective body, and seeks to dismantle notions of standards and norms (whose standards, whose norms!?!)
RESPONSE. researches the space between stimuli and response; seeking what is possible in the pause, the breath, the moment, the choice...

In this Performance Process CALI & CO dance, seeks to:
• Engage in, learn with, and transform from live performance and community dialogue
• Work at the speed/pace of relationship and trust building (Brené Brown)
• Build relationships through creative process and performance, across genres, communities, and audiences
• Support each performer/collaborator in creative process, be in reciprocity with audience and community through live performance and engagement
• Honor diverse lived experiences and perspectives through intersectional awareness and an accountable and liberatory framework
• Flow in and out as Facilitator, Collaborator, Performer, Observer roles
• Create something meaningful, and agency-building, through a process that feels purposeful and examined
• Open dialogue early and throughout the process so we are not creating/performing in a silo or vacuum
• Cultivate joy and the potential for experiencing a liberated body as an individual, collective, and community
