The Pillow Project circa 2025

AUG 16: A one-day 4-hour introduction into The Pillow Project’s improvisational method of movement and dance at The Space Upstairs, as led by The Pillow Project’s Founding Artistic Director Jaka Zakajinn (formerly Pearlann Porter).

This one-day immersive workshop focuses on articulating and ‘playing’ our range motion, considering different dynamic ranges in physicality, and making distinct choices to engage with the music.

No experience required or expected — this introductory study is open to absolutely all levels of experience and inexperience!

*Pre-Registration Required (link in bio)

Please wear cool/loose/comfortable clothing - footwear or socks optional
