A workshop with and by Kevin Fay

postponed due to partial lockdown
new date to be announced in due course

Patriarchal masculinity wreaks havoc in the world every day. Join this workshop to look at words and bodies individually and collectively through the lens of masculinity and its precepts.

In Kevin’s view, we rely on words to communicate and to understand each other, and at the same time, words play an important role in how we understand ourselves. As tensions around the globe rise, destructive patterns persist, and misunderstandings relating to the use of language proliferate he encourages us to take time together in this workshop to look at when, where, and how we use words in relation to bodies. 

Kevin Fay was born and raised near Washington, D.C., U.S.A. and currently lives in Brussels, Belgium, working as a freelance contemporary dancer in projects around Europe. He initiated a personal research project on the subject of masculinity in 2019, and this workshop is an offering of the processes he uses to look at how language operates in and on the body in conversations about gender identity and expression. 

 “We will read together, write together, and move together.”
