Facilitated by Educator-in-Residence Shalon T. Webber-Heffernan, six interdisciplinary practitioners have been invited to develop an Attunement Session that responds to an image set with prompts that challenge viewers to open new ways of understanding what we see. Each of these sessions offer pedagogic tools to assist audiences with “tuning-in” by means of embodiment, perception, texture, joy, meditation, encounter, touch, intimacy, sound, intuition, or other senses.

In this Attunement Session, dance artist Justine Chambers has created six prompts reminiscent of childhood notes passed in class. What embodied memories do we carry from youth? What knowings do we possess deep in our bones? How can we intentionally remember? Sensations from our past continue to feel into the present and future. Through a series of kinaesthetic echoes, Chambers contemplates the temporal transcendence of girlhood and its persistence through skin and flesh.
