This fall semester at Jezebel, Sunday Boïs Club and HOTSPOT The Show bring you a series of workshops focused on creating space, skills, and stage time for transmasc*, masculine-of-center & questioning bodies to explore masc-coded movement and erotic energy on stage.
Over the course of two months (October & November), each Sunday we’ll host different teachers bringing different skill sets, varying from embodiment and masc-coded gesture to floorwork, lap dance, balance and circus tricks, and urban dance moves.
The workshops are open to all levels: whether you’ve never performed before, already have a stage practice, or are just curious and want to explore new skills, you’re welcome.
* This is part of our mission to reclaim space for transmasc people: these workshops are not open to AMAB people (cis or gender non-conforming) and cis masc women. Identification under the “trans” umbrella is non-negotiable (at the free interpretation of the individual).
14H > 16H
INTRO TO HIP HOP PART 1 W/ JUSTINE THEIZEN
This workshop offers an introduction to Hip-Hop through movement, improvisation and performance. We will explore the foundations of Hip-Hop dance while developing tools to feel more comfortable with improvisation, create movement and build confidence in one’s own style.
Through different exercises, we will play with musicality, rhythm, body awareness and movement quality, as well as explore the possibility of creating choreography. A particular focus will be placed on stage presence: how to take space, connect with the music and the audience, and express yourself through movement. The workshop is an opportunity to experiment, have fun and develop your own way of moving.
Justine Theizen is a 28-year-old dancer and choreographer. Initially trained in Hip Hop for several years, she grew up immersed in urban culture, between battles, choreography competitions and music videos.
