Week 1 PRACTICES: Keith Hennessy
Political Witchcraft For The Current Era
January 7-11, 3:45-5:45pm
Magic involves poetic and embodied action in a ritualized context to influence both consciousness and material realities. The pretend influences the real. Working with dancing, somatics, tarot, and spell crafting we will create a laboratory of activist magic. How can bodies and imaginations be decolonized and liberated? How can dancing respond to anxiety and trauma? Wicca, activist San Francisco rituals, and cross-cultural indigeneity influence this working.
Keith Hennessy dances. His performances engage improvisation, ritual, collaboration, and street protest as tools for responding to political issues. He observes self and society using a queer-feminist approach to critical whiteness. Hennessy directs Circo Zero and was a member of Contraband with Sara Shelton Mann. MFA, PhD from UC/Davis. www.circozero.org
