Workshops

Our workshop offerings extend our engagement with you beyond the stage-audience relationship, offering space to come together, learn from one another, and build community through conversations that center Indigenous and decolonial understandings of gender, sexuality, and body sovereignty. Workshops are designed to deepen conversations and questions sparked from the stories, performances, and confessions shared at our shows.

Rooted in relationality and collective care, our workshops aim to strengthen connections: to self, to each other, and to the land. We explore how colonialism, capitalism, and systemic violence have shaped our relationships to our bodies and each other, and we imagine new/ancient liberating ways forward through storytelling, art, and shared practice.

Our workshops provide a supportive and caring environment for deep reflection and creative exploration.

Themes include:

• Decolonial Sexualities – Understanding the impacts of colonial policies and exploring practices that reclaim and celebrate diverse Indigenous sexualities and genders

• Safer Spaces & Collective Care – Practicing how we show up for each other and hold space in community

• Arts and Performance-based Practices – Exploring gender, sexuality, and the erotic through creative expression, storytelling, and movement

• Body and Collective Sovereignty – Understanding and practicing bodily autonomy (including sexual health) in relation to personal, community, cultural resilience, and colonial history

• Past Workshop Highlights – Burlesque co-choreography for community building; Teas, Tease, and Pasties; tea-making for wellness; and co-creating safer and creative spaces through gathering

Our workshops integrate our respective scholarly research, practitioner knowledge, and lived experiences. We blend educational content, interactive activities, and artistic expression to create transformative and healing experiences that are as much about learning as they are about re-storying and reclaiming our ancestors’ stories and dreams for our present experiences and future generations.
