Moving Rasa Relationship Labs: Exploring Dance Improvisation and Connection
In Moving Rasa Relationship Labs, we explore how dance improvisation can empower us in our relationships—with ourselves, others, and the world around us. By engaging with movement, place-based exploration, and creative play, we navigate challenges and unlock new ways of sensing our bodies, imagining possibilities, and connecting with our Rasa—our unique essence.
Collective and Interactive Space
Moving Rasa Labs are collaborative spaces where participants co-create the experience. Together, we design improvisational movement activities, interact with one another and the surrounding environment, and engage with objects to deepen our exploration. Whether you’re new to dance improvisation or experienced, everyone is welcomed and supported as we learn, play, and grow together.
Please complete the form below to Register!
Come dressed with rugged clothes, shoes and layers as needed.

Tastes of the Archipelagos
We’re excited to invite you to “Tastes of the Archipelagos” this February—an unforgettable evening that brings together the rich culinary traditions of Java and the embodied practice of Moving Rasa. This unique collaboration with Shandra Woworuntu, a renowned chef and cultural advocate, combines food storytelling with movement explorations that deepen our discernment of Rasa.
In Indonesian, Rasa means taste, but it also represents the essence of how we experience relationships—with food, people, and our own bodies. At Moving Rasa, we create playful, embodied spaces to explore how we receive and relish in experiences, using movement games and improvisation to cultivate presence, boundary-making, and connection. We hope to use Moving Rasa to deepen participant experiences of the food tasting.
We’d love to invite you to attend or partner with us to share this special event with your audience. It’s a perfect opportunity to explore the interplay of taste and movement while savoring Southeast Asian traditions in an intimate, welcoming setting.
.Please register for January’s “Tastes of the Archipelagos” dining and community building experience. We will confirm receipt of your registration within 2-3 business days based on the contact information you provide.

Where:
Harlem, NY

What is a Lab?
In the Moving Rasa Relationship Labs we play with cultivating agency and empowerment in our relationships. In this way, jumping over walls or wheeling through obstacles is just as relevant to my growth and life inquiry as where I put my attention for the perception of bodily sensations or the blossoming of my imagination. Any awareness of a movement relationship can be a portal to connect to our emerging Rasa - our essence.

Participants will be introduced to the Moving Rasa framework through guided exercises and reflections, both outdoors and indoors. We will explore the philosophy and basic tools of Moving Rasa as a means of expression, witnessing, and communication. In particular this retreat will focus on creating a playful and trusting community that is able to openly address and move through our relationships to sex, sexualities and sexual violence in a healing and empowering way.
Expect story sharing and natural cross-pollination among participants, fostering a collective learning experience.
