THE REST PROJECT

In Spring of 2025, we participated in a Residency at Snug Harbor Cultural Center Botanical Garden with CUNY Dance Initiative. During this residency, we explored the theme of rest -what it means, how we embody it, and why it matters. Inspired by Tricia Hersey’s Rest Is Resistance, this interactive work centers rest as a radical act of liberation through sound, movement, and collective care. We performed our findings in a work-in-progress showcase for the community at Snug Harbor. Interested in getting involved in this project or bringing it to your community?
