This workshop welcomes all abilities and is open to anyone whoidentifies as female. This workshop will focus on celebrating our bodies through sensation, curiosity and pleasure and lean away from ideas which can damage our body image. The next day on Saturday Feb 5, Tara Cheyenne will perform her one woman show Body Parts. The audience will be seated on stage for a special, intimate experience. The show is part stand-up, part Greek Tragedy, part performance and part contemporary dance.
