This experiential session will introduce the non-linear process of embodied social justice to emphasize the need for deep personal transformation in alignment with liberatory community/collective practices. Embodied social justice work gives attention to the reality that bodies are created and constructed in relation to their social, cultural, and familial conditioning. Participants will be invited into this practice-able theory of change that holistically engages sensations, tissues, muscles, emotions, organs, and thinking. By the end of our time together, we will begin to see that we cannot “think” our ways out of habits that no longer serve us – we must “practice on purpose with intention.” No prior knowledge is necessary, all bodies welcome!
KJ Dye (she/they) is an educator, performer, activist, and collaborator that lives by one life rule, momentum. KJ was born and raised in Appalachia on Massawomeck Territory but finds deep internal resonance with the traditional land of the Duwamish People, calling Seattle, WA her home. KJ’s earliest memories are filled with muddy toes, bike rides to the sound of crickets, and her grandfather's stories. KJ continues to listen closely for the hidden and untold stories of this life, as they drive her creative passions and investigations. KJ's research pairs anti-oppressive learning theory with somatics to develop a communal practice of art-making for healing, liberation, and social change.
