Join us for an afternoon of Embodiment through Music, a workshop led by VIRGA artist, Noa Fodrie. Participants will have the opportunity to explore trusting your intuition while making art. With a grounded set of rules, you will be given a place to expand and explore while still having a space to remember it is safe to be in your body. Through various genres of music and a mixed media approach, participants will have an open space to make abstract art without the fear of failure.
Supplies will be provided!
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT.
Noa Fodrie
Noa Fodrie is a Memphis born and bred artist and art educator. As a biracial woman raised in the South, she is healing the “what are you/are you sure” narrative of being a fetishized pit stop in diversity bingo. The documentation of movement as an embodiment practice guides her work. She reclaims her body by taking it down to its simplest shape, movement, form, and color. The shapes created by overlaid blind contour drawings are blurring movements together, remembering the motion that came before. She graduated from the University of Memphis with a BFA in Art Education and is currently pursuing her MFA in Painting and Drawing at the University of Colorado Boulder.
