 Dancing Your Story:
A Sins Invalid Movement Workshop
with Antoine Hunter
Sunday, October 24, 3-6 pm
Mission Cultural Center
2868 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
(between 24th & 25th)
Cost: Free
Registration required
What does your body want to communicate? Let your disabled body dance its story. What movement says you feel alive, what movement tells us you’re gonna cry? Explore new things and old, open up to the spirit and soul of dance. This class is for all levels and abilities. If you are shy, this is the class for you. If you are a professional, this class is for you. If you think you can’t dance, this class is for you. Come explore and learn and move and let the movement move you – there will be you in every dance, and in dance there will be everything.
Antoine Hunter is an Oakland-based dancer/choreographer, who started his career as a jazz dancer in High School, and expanded his repertoire to include ballet, jazz, tap, African, country-western, latin, and hip hop. Antoine teaches students at numerous schools and performing arts centers, including Ross Dance Company, East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, ODC Dance Center, Youth in Arts, and more. He is a proud member of both the African-American and Deaf/HOH communities.
Our workshops are open to anyone who is interested in exploring the intersection of sexuality and disability, regardless of prior experience in movement or performance. If space becomes limited, we are prioritizing participants who identify as having a disability. The space is wheelchair accessible. Please refrain from using scented products, although we cannot guarantee a scent-free space.
To register, email your name, phone number and access needs to info@sinsinvalid.org.

 SINS INVALID 2010 ANNUAL SHOW
POSTPONED TILL 2011
Dear Friend/Colleague/Allied Supporter of Sins Invalid,
Recently, key leadership for the Sins Invalid annual performance began experiencing a combination of significant health problems. As a small organization, this significantly impacts Sins Invalid’s capacity to produce its much-anticipated Fall 2010 performance.
As a result, we are forced to make the difficult decision to postpone our Fall 2010 performance until early 2011.
We realize that this is unexpected and possibly disappointing news. However, it is in line with our collective vision for a world where we take care of all our beloved community members. This is disability justice in action.
Our Artistic Director is taking the month of October off to address her health concerns. During this time, Sins Invalid staff continues to be available to answer questions or hear concerns. You can reach Leroy Moore, our Community Relations Director, at leroymoore@sinsinvalid.org, or you can reach Truc Nguyen, our Administrative Coordinator, at trucnguyen@sinsinvalid.org.
We hope to see you at our other upcoming events that include our next performance workshop on Oct 17th at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, the Winter performance of our Artists in Residence program – and of course at the rescheduled performance in early 2011!
Thank you so much for all your support and understanding.
The Sins Invalid Advisory Board and Program Team:
Elaine Beale, Leroy Moore, Nomy Lamm, Patty Berne, Todd Herman, Truc Nguyen and Vanessa Huang |
