Join somatic facilitator Vanessa Woulfe at the Kamloops Art Gallery for an embodied movement workshop inspired by the exhibition Dancing through to the Other Side and the exploration of dance within the gallery space.
Participants will be guided through movement-based practices that consider how the body engages with artworks, space, and others. Connect through movement and explore what happens when a gallery becomes a space for shared, embodied experience.
Open to participants of all ages, this workshop invites a collective approach to noticing, moving, and being in the gallery.
No dance experience is needed. Children are warmly encouraged, and babies are welcome in carriers.
Bio:
Vanessa A. Woulfe (BFA, BEd, MFA) is a dancer, educator, and somatic facilitator whose work bridges movement, trauma-informed practice, and embodied learning. Raised in Tkaronto (Toronto), she spent many years working as an independent contemporary dancer alongside roles in teaching at York University, workshop facilitation, and community leadership.
While completing her MFA in 2013, Vanessa developed Pleasure Sourcing, an embodied movement practice that centers curiosity, sensation, and agency. She has since shared this work through classes, workshops, and conferences, supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies as sites of knowledge, resilience, and creativity.
In 2020, Vanessa relocated to Tk’emlúps (Kamloops) to be closer to family and to deepen her somatic training. Through her business, Stellarfeels, Vanessa works with individuals and organizations to cultivate body-based insight, nervous system regulation, and meaningful connection. She is known for her grounded, engaging presence and her ability to create spaces where embodiment becomes both accessible and transformative.
