The body keeps the script.
If you’ve ever been asked where you’re really from, or found yourself smiling through jokes that weren’t funny, and felt something stay in your body long after—
this workshop starts from there.
Earlier this year, I interviewed 13 people across the ESEA community in the Netherlands about their experiences with everyday racism — roots from different countries and mixed heritage; born here or elsewhere; hetero, trans, queer.
Different backgrounds, strikingly similar experiences.
If the body carries what cannot be said,
what happens if we move with it?
This led me to collaborate with @yujing_lyj , a choreographer and body-based practitioner whose work explores how the body responds to environment and lived experience through movement and voice.
SOMATIC TRACES is a 4-session movement and voice workshop for the ESEA community in Amsterdam.
Together, we work with movement and voice to explore how everyday racism is felt and held in the body, and find ways to express, release, and connect with each other
