Sign up to join Lavender Sessions on Thursday, May 12th from 6-8pm, in-person @ 2+U in Downtown, Seattle!
Join artist mentor, Tracey Wong (she/her) as she guides us through a sensual movement workshop. She is vibrance and joy when she dances and we are excited that she will be sharing with us!
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Tracey will guide us through a warm up, freestyle exercises, and will be sharing her philosophies and practices on sensual movement. This workshop has the intention of giving us our own personal movement toolbox to take home that can be used as a practice in bringing us back into our bodies, tapping into our senses, and enjoying our pleasure through movement. In a society where body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, and the patriarchy are real, it is important to have spaces where we can reground and be in celebration of our bodies. Yes, we're dancing! Get ready to play!
ABOUT TRACEY
Tracey Wong (she/her) is a queer Teochew-American dancer, educator, student, and community space holder. She was born and raised on Duwamish Land/ Seattle, WA in the Southend and is the daughter of loving parents who were refugees from Vietnam. Tracey takes pride in representing her birthplace and continues to create spaces that empower many, especially for women, queer folks, and communities of color.
Tracey is the co-director and co-founder of Malicious Vixens, a dance crew and sisterhood of Asian American women that align deeply with the values of community care and collaboration. Together, they work to create art that honors their ancestors and histories, but also honors the African diaspora and cultures that they are guests of.
Tracey's current work centers on embracing femininity, fluidity, and de-centering patriarchal narratives with her peers through her classes and gatherings — Honey n Sensualitea, Waacking/ Whacking class, and Waacking Open Mic Nights. Visit maliciousvixens.com/tracey-wong to learn more about Tracey.
