Step Inside the Creative World of Raja Feather Kelly! | September 4 - 7 4 Days. 1 Visionary Artist. Unlock Your Creative Process

8/14/2025

This isn’t a workshop—it’s a rehearsal for your future self 💥

GALLIM PROCESS IMMERSION with RAJA FEATHER KELLY

Join Raja in the studio September 4-7!

This Process Immersion invites choreographers, directors, and generative artists into four days of sweaty inquiry, theatrical disobedience, and creative problem-making (not solving).

In Raja's approach of devised-danced-theatre, We don’t do just steps. We definitely don’t over polish. We do process. Through improvisation, conversation, performance, and mess, we’ll unpack how you lead, how you move, how you make—and why any of it matters. You’ll confront your habits, your ego, your aesthetic, your past lives. You’ll dance, cry (maybe), write, direct, remix, fail, and try again.

We’ll treat the studio like a lab, a stage, and a mirror. Expect to build stamina, sharpen your instincts, and remember why you started making work in the first place. This space is for people who want to burn something down and build something real in its place.

Bring your baggage. Bring your brilliance. Bring your lunch.

Kizuna Dance 2nd Annual Open Intensive August 22 - 26

8/4/2022

FROM THE FOLKS AT KIzuna Dance:

Kizuna Dance’s OPEN INTENSIVE from August 22 - 26!

What began as open movement sessions between friends during the pandemic has since blossomed into our newest annual offering. Each day, we'll have two floorwork technique sessions (10am - 1pm & 2pm - 5pm), lead by either myself or one of the company dancers.

Kizuna Dance continues its passion for making dance education and training more financially accessible to artists. I hope this might provide an opportunity for some of those within your communities to meet, train in contemporary floorwork, and connect with other artists without worrying about finances. The program is open to any pre-professional and professional dancers, and they can register for and attend up to two of the offered time slots entirely for free!

I’ll attach the flyer below, and more sign up info can be found on our website at cameronmckinneydance.com/intensive.

The sign up form opens up on our website this Friday, July 08 at 12pm! Sign up is first come, first served. I hope you’ll share with your folks!

Registration Open ~ VIRTUAL UBW GENERATIVE DANCER CHOREOGRAPHIC & PERFORMANCE LAB MAY 19 - 21, 2021

4/28/2021

This 3-day virtual workshop will take participants through UBW’s creative choreographic lab.

We will work from 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM daily.

Participants should have an existing practice in composition and have at least enough space to comfortably spread out into an 'X' across the floor.
The participants will engage in a process-based approach to UBW’s art-making. The process-based investigations are informed by who is in the room and involves iterative cycles of rigorous embodied research informed by radical Black experimentation in the fields of culture, politics, identity, and history.
Our desire is to use a large palette of our learning that includes Radical Black Theatre Dance practices and westernized practices while holding at the center the glory of defining ourselves. James Frazier calls this “The Radical Act of Being” -- without apology, worrying about the comfort, acceptance, or understanding of people who may have “othered” us.
