Art of Being: Move with Waterway @ Wild Mile — Windflow Dance with Ayako
Dance is the art of being. Ayako wants to offer this workshop as a daily practice of being,—as a human, mover, performer, artist, dancer, and choreographer. Participants will gather at a designated location, this time Wild Mile Chicago, for the day, and begin guided somatic improvisational exercises based on imagery. Ayako will share some reading or some topics related to water/nature/body (this could happen during the exercises). Then, we will stroll to find the site-specific locations for solo, duo, trio, and ensemble dance to happen. We create site-specific dance, practice (could be improvisational), share, and watch each other and wrap up with dialogue. Through this practice, Ayako will share the way to find our centered, grounded, and balanced selves. No experience of dance is necessary. Just bring your own love and joy of dance!!
Please bring your own water bottle, snack, and layers of clothes as you need. Bringing your small notebook and something to write will be handy.
Ayako will reach participants via email one day before the workshop to say hello and inform the exact gathering spot at Wild Mile. If the weather forecast for the day is heavy rain and the event needs to be canceled, Ayako will contact participants by 11:15 am that day, and a refund (or credit for the next workshop) will be available.

Eurydice - Snails on a Bike
Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice is a contemporary adaptation that reimagines the myth of Orpheus through Eurydice’s eyes as she journeys to the Underworld and reencounters her deceased father. It is a story of trees and stones, rooms made of string and strings tied around fingers. Underneath the music of falling rain, it is a story of how to love someone across great distance and how the people we’ve lost live on in memory.
About Snails on a Bike: Snails on a Bike is a Chicago-based theatre collective specializing in performing plays in site-specific, found spaces. We are most excited about work that explores the intricacy of human relationships; all the messiness and beauty of what it means to love in our current social context. We are dedicated to fostering a collaborative and consent-forward environment, where each artist is free to contribute and advocate for themselves and their ideas. snailsonabike.com/ Instagram: @snailsonabike
