Every Time I Speak I Shatter The Worlds Wholeness 01

Embodying the Endocrine System with Nicole Bindler

6/5/24 7-9 pm, Pay what you wish

In this class we will study and move from the various endocrine glands that form a chain in front of the spine, and correspond to the chakras. The endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream that regulate all of our body cycles including heartbeat, breath, metabolism, sleep, sexuality, and aging. In this class we will research, embody, and dance with the endocrine glands as they relate to how we sense, feel, and communicate.

Nicole Bindler–dance-maker, Body-Mind Centering® practitioner, writer, and activist–has practiced contact improvisation for 25 years. Her work has been supported by numerous grants and fellowships, and presented on four continents. Recent projects include curating an evening of Palestinian dance films; somatic research on the embryology of the genitalia from a non-binary perspective; a workshop on neuroqueering embodiment; co-producing the Consent Culture in Contact Improvisation Symposium; and a solo dance, The Case for Invagination, in which her scars speak candidly about trauma and desire. Upcoming engagements include a summer CI and voice retreat at WildHeart, co-editing a book, Gathering Sparks: Jewish Arts and Somatics, and contributing essays to the 2024 issue of BMC Currents, and the Embryo Book Project. https://www.nicolebindler.com
