Movement Workshop with Indigo Spice

Join Indigo Spice for an interactive workshop to explore the art of hand and arm gestures in South Asian performance arts.

Attendees will get a chance to learn a little bit about the history of the artforms involved before trying out different techniques, with an invitation to share some of their own stories through movement. The workshop can be done sitting down but requires mobility of hands and arms.

He is also a huge nerd and loves to draw inspiration from superheroes, science fiction, and fantasy. He is part of the House of Spice, a collective dedicated to platforming artists with queer brown heritage, and improving visibility and representation.
