Accompanying the performances of ANTI-MUSE – to those yet to come, this workshop offers deeper insight into the piece and the mythologies connected to it. Participants are invited to engage with the anti-muse as a force of resistance and transformation and the Black Atlantic as a space for reimagination and opacity. Through the repertoire of Twerk and Whine, we will explore the embodiment of the anti-muse. Twerk is often used in popular culture, like music videos and live shows, but has its roots in a lineage of dances of liberation, connecting to ancestral practices that center the hips and pelvis as carriers for strength, pleasure, and creative power. We will imagine ourselves as the sirens of our own pleasure, evoking the timeless energy of the anti-muse.
