BYOB (Bring Your Own Brat)

ongoing workshop series, 2020 —

The dance between your desires and the authority of a room. 

“Bring Your Own Brat” stems from the craving to perform a tantrum in the face of conditioned modes of being, moving, and seeing. The workshop is facilitated by Sacha Vega and is part of ongoing studio experiments in expressions of personal needs. Through a series of shared movement exercises and writing prompts we will explore the archetype of the brat as a means to probe at moralized choreographies in our lives. Whether your brat emerges through foot stomping, vocal exclamation, a written decree, or total refusal - all are welcome. No previous dance or performance experience necessary.

Versions of this workshop have been facilitated by Sacha at Performance Space NY, Van Noord Van Noord, Flux Factory, Abrons Art Center and Rutgers University.
