radial diamond kinetics is my ever-evolving approach to sweating/dancing/working out in connection with others/as a ritual. In an rdk session we explore imagination-centering prompts and practices as a way to jostle/expand how we move/feel in/about our bodies and we do a simple dance workout that focuses on strength, coordination, endurance, moving with/through inhibitions, playful drama, and fun. Together, we cultivate a supportive environment for collective alchemy, all to a carefully selected accompaniment of music. Sometimes I modify rdk as a dancer/performer training class, but most often I offer it for a broader range of bodies/backgrounds as a low-barrier-to-entry, joy-inducing, take-ourselves-less-seriously kind of drop in space.
rdk first emerged in 2009 and I have since offered it to a range of populations in a variety of contexts in Amsterdam (NL), Los Angeles, rural Tennessee, Boston, New York City, Tallinn (Estonia), New Lebanon, Hudson, NY, Troy, NY, and elsewhere. Classes are trauma-informed, queer-centering, and adaptable for a wide range of bodies/abilities. Please be in touch if you have questions about the adaptability for you. Wear what makes you feel comfortable, fab, and able to move relatively unencumbered.
