Afromystic Experimental Performance
Have you wanted to know if there is space in Òrìṣà practice for QTPOC & LGBTQ?
Do you know of stories/Odu’s of LGBTQ within Òrìṣà practice?
Do you want to create your own story and share it with the world?
Come to the Afromystic Experimental Performance & writing workshop at BAAD! Discuss mythology exploring Queer aspects of the Òrìṣà’s, using these stories to create our own with gestures/movements and culminating in a showing of our work together.

· Open to all bodies, writers & non-writers, movers and community folks.
