Taiji Yoga - Ranice Tay & Gayle Nerva
Taiji 太极 means: Great extremes. Yoga योग means: Union / to join,
Where do they intersect, and how do they differ? In this workshop, we will look at the very foundations of movement from both Yoga and Taiji such as body alignment, opposition, balance and flow. Participants will experience an original Taiji Yoga movement sequence born out of collaboration between Ranice and Gayle, as we reflect upon the embodied wisdoms of the forms and ground ourselves in the present moment.

How do I love?: Understanding Venus in Your Chart - Ang Kia Yee
An astrology workshop on love, desire, and conflict
How do you experience love? Is it nerve-wracking, gnarly, intoxicating, mundane, sweet, confusing, liberating?
In this workshop, we take our natal charts as personal maps to reflect on our unique ways of loving and relating. We draw upon the expansive, macro lens of astrology to look more closely at our dispositions, perspectives, approaches, strategies, and challenges when it comes to love.
Through this reflective process, you are invited to explore how you could build more intentional and meaningful connections with others. How can you love more sincerely and truthfully, as the kind of lover you are?

For this workshop, the scope of connections includes all intimate, loving, one-on-one relationships in your life.
Due to the limited time, this workshop is meant to seed meaningful questions and intentions for you to bring home and dwell on in your own time. We will not be able to go very deep and linger much together. We will not be going into synastry or compatibility. We will focus on the self by way of the natal chart.
This workshop forms one of a pair of mirror workshops on love. Its mirror, How do we love what we love?, will be offered in the future.

This workshop is recommended for performers of all levels aged 18 and over. Physical training and making can be a vulnerable process.

Open House X Fundraiser (Present in the World)
WUSHIREN Theatre is entering a new creative chapter—a studio-warming, a beginning. On 29th March, we open our space with the hope that it will become fertile ground for artistic exploration and inquiry. In June 27-29, we take our first step onto the stage with I am finally in love with the world, an original production.
As we build towards this milestone, we are launching our open house, followed by a series of workshops at a later date to raise funds for our work—work that we believe in deeply. We are grateful to have already received the NAC P&P grant, but we are also fundraising to bridge the remaining costs
In a world where many forces pull us in different directions, to be truly present is a radical act. Present In The World begins with an open house, and follows up with a workshop series dedicated to cultivating awareness—of our bodies, our minds, our beings. It is an invitation to ground ourselves in the current moment, to listen deeply, and to reconnect with the wholeness of who we are.

How do we remain? In this poem-manifesto-meditation, Kia Yee/ kyatos dwells, stays, persists in one place. After years of rushing herself to start and to go on, she asks: what can happen when we remain, when we don't run to the next thing? What kind of dreaming and re-prophesying can take place by being in the here and now? Come dwell with this artist, poet, and founder of zone, a cross-disciplinary theatre company.

Sound has the power to bring us into the present moment, helping us feel more connected to ourselves and the world around us.
