The Sessions is a new series of community arts programming in Salt Lake City, organized and facilitated by Interdisciplinary Arts Collective.

The series consists of three offerings: Listening Sessions, Moving Sessions, and Dreaming Sessions. They are all held on a regular repeating basis every month, free and open to the public for drop-in participation. Everyone is welcome, no arts experience necessary!

• Listening Sessions: a space to listen to music together. Each week we’ll gather on Wednesday night and press play – new music, beloved classics, sounds that stretch the definition of music, every week will be different.  You need nothing more than ears, a sense of curiosity, and a willingness to listen boldly.

• Moving Sessions: a space to explore motion and dance. Moving Sessions are open-level dance classes hosted on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Our focus is not on codified shapes and styles, as in a traditional dance technique class, but instead on the connection between body and mind. Using improvisation-based prompts, individuals are encouraged to let thought and imagination guide their bodies through new and unexpected movement pathways. We all have bodies that move and think and dance – Moving Sessions are meant as an open, playful, imaginative practice for deepening your relationship with your body and how it moves.

• Dreaming Sessions: a space to imagine and converse. Dreaming Sessions are structured around a community-oriented conversation practice called Social Dreaming, developed by sociologist Gordon Lawrence. We gather together once a month on the new moon to talk, release our dreams into the collective (un)consciousness, and allow new ways of thinking and communicating to emerge.
