Conspiracy of Venus at the Uptown (Oakland) Tomorrow w/ Yea-Ming & the Rumours + April Shows + Movement Explorers

[jessie woletz | seaweed sway]

Hi everyone,

Happy vernal equinox!

I'm here to announce a few April shows, and to provide a last minute reminder for my choir show tomorrow night.

Tomorrow!

Conspiracy of Venus has a rare Oakland show at the Uptown. 

Doors are at 8, and we will sing a mini set around 8:30. 

Then, Yea-Ming & the Rumors will play (a short set as well). 

Then, around 10, we'll sing a full set. 

So, early or late folks are welcome.

We're doing a bunch of small ensembles for this show (in new formations), to keep it fresh. We're debuting a new song as well!

No experience necessary. Curious movers welcome. Get in touch if you'd like to be notified of future meet-ups. The general format: 1) free time for warming up, 2) gather to discuss focus of the day, examining anatomy books for relevant info 3) partner work re-sensitizing the zone where we are focusing 4) practice dancing/walking/moving with the awareness gained 5) potentially practice choreography using principles & awareness from prior work. Suggested donation $10-15.
