Saturday, September 6 |
2:05PM - 2:30PM

Embodied Narratives is a performance and workshop exploring storytelling through dance, blending KRUMP, Poppin, Lockin, and contemporary forms. It invites audiences to witness powerful movement narratives and engage with their own body’s voice through guided improvisation. This experience embraces authenticity over perfection, encouraging all participants to explore identity, memory, and emotion through dance as a universal language of connection.
