🐛Thank you @understory_social_rva and @verdantrichmond for supporting Richmond’s community gardens. Several of our members got their start in this theater back in the Dogtown days. It was surreal to return as a collective and dance again.
🧚
shoutout to @laneysullivan for capturing some of our extra clips.

The biggest brag I could say about my mothering experience is that I could easily form a squad of 21 fairy godmothers to appreciate and support my little one.
💗
Motherhood has a wild way of finding you. And Auntihood is what keeps the mothership afloat. This journey wouldn’t be half as fun without all the love and creativity and support my friends and loved ones provide. I’m so glad she is surrounded by a sea of love, support and role models wherever she looks.
💕
Something I’ve been really excited to learn about is the @theportalhouse community that’s growing for artist mothers in RVA. More spaces for us connect and to support one another.
💕
Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Fairy Godmother’s Day!

The growth we’ve experienced since our group photoshoot in March feels almost unreal.⁣
⁣
Tomorrow we step into our fourth performance of the month, and I can feel how each offering has been guiding us gently into the next.⁣
⁣
Grateful for the beautiful souls of @athanor_dance_collective and for the ways we continue to witness, challenge, uplift, and grow together. ✨⁣

☘️

-a Dance Installation Video (your hints are 💨 🍃 💃🏼)
-Green Witch Photoshoot (active members)

Drew each others visions
And delicately rotted while others grew

Last night was a sparkling end to the Red Witch Season!
What’s next?
We Rot for an interval of time.
What does that mean?
We are fermenting on the idea of rot. What that looks like will be a surprise to us too.

As we stew in our luscious soil, we will be dreaming of The Green Witch and her early spring approach. We will also have the plans for our workshop series made solid.

Red, like Dedication
.
The real alchemy was the friends we made along the way. Look at those genuine smiles, that’s magic at work. We are developing our improv style, with flocking and hoop.
We are happy to share the good work we show up for in the studio. Co-creating art with friends is a vulnerable process and our time with one another is a treasure.
