Connection Jam
In Partnership With ArtPower | EVERY WEDNESDAY 6:30-8PM
A weekly community offering that began Spring 2024. T+ D professor Ana Maria Alvarez and a roster of amazing artists from on and off campus lead a weekly gathering space for connection, radical joy and community! In connection jam participants are led through a collective practice of our ancestral technologies movement and play. No experience necessary, this is an open and non judgemental space. Come ready to move, sweat, laugh and practice joy as if it were a muscle. You will leave feeling more grounded, connected and joyful!
