SUMMARY:Movement Before the Movement with Catherine Stewart at The Dance Hall
DESCRIPTION:Movement Before The Movement with Catherine Stewart \nWe’re partnering with multi-disciplinary artist Catherine Stewart as part of her Institute Project with the Jacob’s Pillow Curriculum in Motion® Institute to bring this workshop for embodied expression\, connection\, and collective power to the community. \nMovement Before The Movement is designed to reconnect you with your body as a site of emotional intelligence\, resistance\, and resilience. Through a series of guided prompts\, you’ll explore gesture\, bodily autonomy\, and movement-based storytelling to uncover personal truths and tap into individual action. The process centers on physical sensation over explanation\, asking: What does the body know before the brain makes a decision? \nThis event  is ideal for those seeking to: \n● Activate self and community through embodied dialogue and co-creation. \n● Support wellness\, self-inquiry\, and emotional regulation via somatic practice. \n● Integrate arts-based approaches to advocacy\, liberation\, and healing. \nThis workshop requires no previous movement experience and is suitable for adults of all identities\, body types\, and movement backgrounds. The facilitation approach is trauma-informed\, consent-forward\, and non-hierarchical\, offering each participant full agency over their experience. Be sure to wear clothes comfortable to move in. \nIf cost is a barrier\, please reach out directly to facilitator Catherine Stewart at  catherine@makecreatemore.com \n*Please note photography may take place during the workshop to capture images as part of Catherine’s Fellowship project with the Jacob’s Pillow Curriculum in Motion® Institute. If you prefer to opt out of your likeness being captured\, you can connect with Catherine that evening. \nMovement Before The Movement was funded in part by New England Foundation for the Arts’ New England Dance Fund\, with generous support from the Aliad Fund at the Boston Foundation. Catherine’s participation in the Jacob’s Pillow Curriculum in Motion® Institute was supported in part by New England Foundation for the Arts’ Public Art Learning Fund\, with funding from the Barr Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator \nCatherine Stewart is a multidisciplinary artist\, playwright\, and founder of Make Create More\, a platform for participatory arts experiences that spark cultural dialogue and collective healing. Her work blends theater\, dance\, film\, and installation to animate public space and provoke societal transformation. A recipient of numerous awards and funding from diverse stakeholders\, she has collaborated with changemakers across the U.S. and U.K. to build projects at the intersection of embodiment\, justice\, and public life. \nAbout the Curriculum in Motion® Institute \nCatherine is currently a Fellow with the Jacob’s Pillow Curriculum in Motion® Institute\, a program dedicated to placing dance artists in extended\, meaningful engagement with communities. Rooted in a pedagogy that values relationship-building\, co-authorship\, and reflection\, the Institute supports artists in facilitating site-specific choreographic investigations in nontraditional settings—from classrooms to public spaces. Movement Before The Movement is part of her Fellowship project\, exploring social dance\, civic engagement\, and somatic truth-telling.
