Christian Nagler
Featuring DJ Kit Clayton:
Cosmoconvulsive Anxiothenics
The Lab, San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:
In this session we will delve deeply into some embodied non-solutions to the problem of global risk management. What are global risk management practices and how do they relate to our nervous systems? Engage in an athletic and de-armoring session of Reichian somatics, full-corpus spasms, and galactic tingles. Wear comfortable clothes. Come prepared to move, breathe intensely, yell, and freak out a little.
