SUMMARY:BIG BODY: Experimental J-Sette Performance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Dancemakers Forum\, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago Present\n// A *FREE* dance workshop with jumatatu m. poe & Jermone “Donte” Beacham //\nThursday\, March 5\, 2020\n5:00 – 7:00 PM\nThe Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago\n1306 S Michigan Ave\, Chicago\, IL 60605\nStudio 300 \nJ-Sette\, also known as Bucking\, is a performance style popular in the southern United States\, practiced widely among majorettes and drill teams at historically Black colleges and universities\, and also among teams of primarily queer men who compete in gay clubs and pride festivals. The workshop focuses on bombastic performance energy\, complex relationships to rhythm and music\, movement precision\, group dynamics\, and discovering joy in flesh and community. We will explore how the performance of J-Sette creates expectations around attention and accountability to a community\, and how it positions leadership. All bodies are encouraged to participate\, regardless of previous training or ability. \nThe Big Body workshop is part of jumatatu and Jermone’s research for their performance “Let ‘Im Move You: Intervention\,” which will be presented by the MCA Chicago in July 2020 (9th-12th) in partnership with Chicago Dancemakers Forum and The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago. Participants from this workshop may have the opportunity to take part in the performances at the festival. \nWorkshop is free\, but reservations will be required.\nQTPOC participants will be prioritized.

SUMMARY:Sweat to the Beat of Slow Motion (part of Wildin' In workshop series)
DESCRIPTION:Wildin’ In workshop series is a 4-day laboratory on cultivating erotic and wild energies within rigorous dance/performance play. The series is being offered for QTBIPOC and BIPOC accomplices. jumatatu’s The Switching and Sweat to the Beat of Slow Motion workshops and a closing Queer Slow Jam will be structured vehicles to contain this play and shape our collective exploration. All events will be held at Sankofa House in Philadelphia from February 3 – 6\, 2020.  Registration will be open until workshop spots are full. Fees $0 – $150\, sliding scale. \n\nSweat to the Beat of Slow Motion\n6 – 9pm each day (on the final day\, we will likely end one hour early)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are going to welcome the slow jam onto the dance floor\, and meet it with a close embrace – maybe just of our individual selves\, or of a consensual partner… or maybe more than one. Let’s get close; feel our wise hips swing into dimly lit spaces\, hear inhales and exhales from a mouth hovering near our ear\, pumping oxygen for a heart rate that’s pulsing a bit faster than usual… Let’s see what we can get up to way down below 95 bpm. Let’s be people dancing up on other people\, when we want to and when we are wanted. Let’s ask for and give our permission for the proximity that we are desiring. Let’s be queer and normal and strange and open and close… very close… Sweating to the beat of slow motion. This is a collective exercise in exploring slow\, and experimenting with how to construct a mutually attentive unit with someone else – leading\, following\, and getting tangled in a consensual gray area. Within this\, we will explore movement related to the hip swing of the J-Sette march\, the entangled embrace of forms like Cuban Son and Angolan Kizomba\, and the importance of deeply communicative pelvic movement in African-descended dance forms. We will disrupt gendered notions about who follows and who leads\, slowly discovering the ways we would like to embrace and be embraced on the dance floor.

Fees $0 – $150\, sliding scale. \nThe Switching workshop\n1:30 – 4:30pm each day\n\n\nI like to imagine that this practice in performance improvisation\, The Switching\, is a strategy in immediate evolution\, rapid-fire shifting\, sublime learning of and in the moment. I began this practice while dealing with my curiosities around a question I obsessed over: “Can I change myself?” \nOur practice will deal with strategic essentialization – through the immediate re-design of ourselves into other creatures\, or other ways of being our innate creatures – and working with immediately identifying the restrictions/limitations that are inescapable. It’s round about\, and ideally will come full circle. \nNow\, in this moment\, it’s circle/curve through my distals\, and my distalsare everywhere\, and my desire travels in orbits\, in cycles\, and my vision is a limb.And now\, in this moment\, my vision is a limb\, and I am comprised of everythingthat I can sense that I cannot see\, and I am composed of the samematerial all throughout my body\, and my voice is flat.And now\, in this moment\, my voice is flat\, and my rhythm is insistentlypercussive\, and my organs erupt to propel me into movement\, andthen they recompose themselves\, and I am responsible for all of the sound I canhear\, and I am feeling overwhelmed at all of my responsibility\, and myerotic desire is piercing through my pores. \nFor me\, there is something deeply spiritual about it\, something confusing\, something humbling/humiliating about it. I feel like it has theoretical links to code switching\, especially as it has to do with my Blackness and queerness\, experiences of immediate compartmentalization/contextualization as a defense mechanism\, as a means of survival. \n“It kinda asks the “safe space” academic overuse and misuse to reexamine itself cause not only am I accountable for what I’m choosing to put into the room\, but I’m acknowledging that there are things about my makeup/training/culture/privilege/unconscious/blind spots that can also cause a shift in the room or the community or the world for better or for worse or who knows really what the effect will be. Something about this philosophy is great to me because it doesn’t make me feel like I have to fret. It doesn’t make me feel totally paralyzed to choose or move. It does make me hyper-diligent about the messiness of it all\, the plurality of it all.“ \n—Christina Gesualdi

SUMMARY:Sweat to the Beat of Slow Motion (part of Wildin' In workshop series)
DESCRIPTION:Wildin’ In workshop series is a 4-day laboratory on cultivating erotic and wild energies within rigorous dance/performance play. The series is being offered for QTBIPOC and BIPOC accomplices. jumatatu’s The Switching and Sweat to the Beat of Slow Motion workshops and a closing Queer Slow Jam will be structured vehicles to contain this play and shape our collective exploration. All events will be held at Sankofa House in Philadelphia from February 3 – 6\, 2020.  Registration will be open until workshop spots are full. Fees $0 – $150\, sliding scale. \n\nSweat to the Beat of Slow Motion\n6 – 9pm each day (on the final day\, we will likely end one hour early)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are going to welcome the slow jam onto the dance floor\, and meet it with a close embrace – maybe just of our individual selves\, or of a consensual partner… or maybe more than one. Let’s get close; feel our wise hips swing into dimly lit spaces\, hear inhales and exhales from a mouth hovering near our ear\, pumping oxygen for a heart rate that’s pulsing a bit faster than usual… Let’s see what we can get up to way down below 95 bpm. Let’s be people dancing up on other people\, when we want to and when we are wanted. Let’s ask for and give our permission for the proximity that we are desiring. Let’s be queer and normal and strange and open and close… very close… Sweating to the beat of slow motion. This is a collective exercise in exploring slow\, and experimenting with how to construct a mutually attentive unit with someone else – leading\, following\, and getting tangled in a consensual gray area. Within this\, we will explore movement related to the hip swing of the J-Sette march\, the entangled embrace of forms like Cuban Son and Angolan Kizomba\, and the importance of deeply communicative pelvic movement in African-descended dance forms. We will disrupt gendered notions about who follows and who leads\, slowly discovering the ways we would like to embrace and be embraced on the dance floor.

I began this practice while dealing with my curiosities around a question I obsessed over: “Can I change myself?” \nOur practice will deal with strategic essentialization – through the immediate re-design of ourselves into other creatures\, or other ways of being our innate creatures – and working with immediately identifying the restrictions/limitations that are inescapable. It’s round about\, and ideally will come full circle. \nNow\, in this moment\, it’s circle/curve through my distals\, and my distalsare everywhere\, and my desire travels in orbits\, in cycles\, and my vision is a limb.And now\, in this moment\, my vision is a limb\, and I am comprised of everythingthat I can sense that I cannot see\, and I am composed of the samematerial all throughout my body\, and my voice is flat.And now\, in this moment\, my voice is flat\, and my rhythm is insistentlypercussive\, and my organs erupt to propel me into movement\, andthen they recompose themselves\, and I am responsible for all of the sound I canhear\, and I am feeling overwhelmed at all of my responsibility\, and myerotic desire is piercing through my pores. \nFor me\, there is something deeply spiritual about it\, something confusing\, something humbling/humiliating about it. I feel like it has theoretical links to code switching\, especially as it has to do with my Blackness and queerness\, experiences of immediate compartmentalization/contextualization as a defense mechanism\, as a means of survival. \n“It kinda asks the “safe space” academic overuse and misuse to reexamine itself cause not only am I accountable for what I’m choosing to put into the room\, but I’m acknowledging that there are things about my makeup/training/culture/privilege/unconscious/blind spots that can also cause a shift in the room or the community or the world for better or for worse or who knows really what the effect will be. Something about this philosophy is great to me because it doesn’t make me feel like I have to fret. It doesn’t make me feel totally paralyzed to choose or move. It does make me hyper-diligent about the messiness of it all\, the plurality of it all.“ \n—Christina Gesualdi

SUMMARY:Big Body workshop in Austin\, TX
DESCRIPTION:The Carver Museum and Fusebox Festival Present\n// A *FREE* dance workshop with jumatatu m. poe & Jermone “Donte” Beacham //\nNovember 4th\, 2019 4-6pm. \nJ-Sette\, also known as Bucking\, is a performance style popular in the southern United States\, practiced widely among majorettes and drill teams at historically Black colleges and universities\, and also among teams of primarily queer men who compete in gay clubs and pride festivals. The workshop focuses on bombastic performance energy\, complex relationships to rhythm and music\, movement precision\, group dynamics\, and discovering joy in flesh and community. We will explore how the performance of J-Sette creates expectations around attention and accountability to a community\, and how it positions leadership. All bodies are encouraged to participate\, regardless of previous training or ability. \nThe Big Body workshop is part of jumatatu and Jermone’s research for their performance “Let ‘Im Move You: Intervention\,” which will be performed at Fusebox Festival in April 2020 (15th-19th) in partnership with the Carver Museum. \nWorkshops are free\, but reservations are required.\nQTPOC participants will be prioritized.\nSign up by emailing anna@fuseboxfestival.com \nThe Carver Museum\, Dance Studio\n1165 Angelina St\, Austin\, TX 78702 \nNovember 4th\, 2019\n4-6pm.

SUMMARY:Sweat to the Beat of Slow Motion
DESCRIPTION:Sweat to the Beat of Slow Motion:\nLeading and following beyond body/gender expectations\nWe are going to welcome the slow jam onto the dance floor\, and meet it with a close embrace – maybe just of our individual selves\, or of a consensual partner… or maybe more than one. Let’s get close; feel our wise hips swing into the same dimly lit spaces\, hear inhales and exhales from a mouth hovering near our ear\, pumping oxygen for a heart rate that’s pulsing a bit faster than usual… Let’s see what we can get up to way down below 95 bpm. Let’s be people dancing up on other people\, when we want to and when we are wanted. Let’s ask for and give our permission for the proximity that we are desiring. Let’s be queer and normal and strange and open and close… very close… Sweating to the beat of slow motion. This is a collective exercise in exploring slow\, and experimenting with how to construct a mutually attentive unit with someone else – leading\, following\, and getting tangled in a consensual gray areas. Within this\, we will explore movement related to the hip swing of the J-Sette march\, and the importance of pelvic movement in African-descended dance forms. We will disrupt gendered notions about who follows and who leads\, slowly discovering the ways we would like to embrace and be embraced on the dance floor.

SUMMARY:The Switching with jumatatu m. poe
DESCRIPTION:“I like to imagine that this improvisation practice\, The Switching\, is a strategy in immediate evolution. I began to practice The Switching in relation to dealing with my curiosities around a question I obsessed over: “Can I change myself?” Our practice will deal with strategic essentialism – through the immediate design of creatures\, or ways of being – and immediately identifying “true” or imagined restrictions/limitations. For me\, there is something deeply spiritual about the practice\, something confusing\, something humbling/humiliating about it. I feel like it has theoretical links to code switching\, especially as it has to do with my Blackness and queerness\, experiences of immediate compartmentalization/contextualization as a defense mechanism\, as a means of survival.” \nThis workshop occurs only on 11/19!\nCost: $30\nRegister by visiting the linkn!
