In honor of Beltane, in celebration of the abundant life of springtime and the fires of the lengthening days in the northern hemisphere, we will gather together in an hour-long movement ritual practice called Witchdancing, with time for conversation and sharing afterward. This practice asks: what if a dance is also a spell with which we conjure our bodies and the worlds in which they live? In Witchdancing, we move through a continuous series of images, qualities, and states, engaging in a metamorphosis of the body. The movement is improvisational and requires no previous dance experience. Witchdancing emerges from nearly 20 years of practice in both witchcraft and Butoh—a postmodern Japanese dance form—and it is inspired by the work of Alkistis Dimech, Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno, Anna Halprin, and Keith Hennessy.
