Yin Yoga Workshop by Tiffany Ratliff
2024-10-04 18:00 - 19:15 | ShapeShifter Lab, 837 Union Street, Ground Floor, Brooklyn, NY, 11215, United States
In this season of transition, find some nourishment for yourself in an evening focused on connecting deeply with your body through the meditative practice of Yin yoga. Concentrating on the deeper tissues of the body, we will spend our time together holding various poses for lengthened periods of time, using our breath as the mind’s anchor. Through this process we are able to release stagnant energy held in the tissues and create space for the places we tend to overlook. The class will open with a short meditation and close with an invitation to receive healing and restorative touch.

Matt Mitler, Megan Bones, Yvonne Brechbuhler

MAKBET, Dzieci Theatre’s visceral take on Macbeth, begins when a riotous clan from the “Old Country” greets you with song, dance, and divination, then embarks on a riotous whirlwind of spine-tingling theatrical invention. With feats of astonishing physicality and otherworldly choral chanting, this ageless tale of greed, corruption, and foul deeds, comes alive through the unflinching performances of a handful of actors who take turns spontaneously trading off parts at the drop of a hat (literally!), exploding the very essence of theatre and storytelling.

La Muchacha is a sonic manifesto rooted in the exploration of her people’s musical traditions, recognizing her Latin American origins and a deep connection to the legacy of singer-songwriters. With a voice-and-guitar format, she navigates the nuances of Colombian rhythms, blending popular, folkloric, and contemporary world music. Her four albums—Polen, Canciones Crudas, Más Canciones Crudas, and her latest release Los Ombligos—have circulated widely across Colombia and at prestigious festivals and venues such as Músicas al Parque, Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Boom, Circulart, Mapas in Tenerife, and Teatro Colón. Los Ombligos has had a particularly strong impact in Colombia, released on vinyl and expanding her international reach.
