How Do We Move Through This?

Explore your relationship to water, community, and change through embodied learning.

Developed by interdisciplinary artist and choreographer, Victoria Bradford Styrbicki, the workshop draws from her semaphore-inspired choreographic framework, in which coded gestures communicate messages that cannot always be spoken aloud.

The workshop introduces attendees to the idea that water holds memory — of storms, pollution, healing, migration, and care — and that our own bodies also carry stories shaped by our environments. Using simple movement scores, flag-based signaling, and creative improvisation, participants translate feelings such as grief, resilience, fear, and hope into physical form.

The workshop concludes with a facilitated dialogue connecting the movement work to how environmental change mirrors the emotional and social changes in our own lives — and how collective action, like collective movement, can shape healthier futures for both water and community.

Children ages 10 and up accompanied by an adult are welcome. Space is limited.
