Movement into Matter
Familiar objects - whether they are tools that we use or materials that we shape - have the potential to hold and enfold the emotional, merging with the mover. Wielding a hammer, a keyboard, a touchscreen or a piece of clay- the hybridity between the human body and the sphere of objects to which we adhere on a daily basis is made palpable in this session. Working with clay, participants will move in ways that shape the material before then, in turn allowing their movements to be shaped by the material demands of the clay. This playful intersection of artist and matter is intended to evoke a strong sense of collaboration between the human and the non-human performer, allowing us to perceive the clay as an actor in our improvisations bringing its own unique agency into the room.

who is this for?
No previous performance experience necessary. This session calls out to all who are curious about playing with movement and clay.

Please wear comfortable clothing that you won't mind getting into contact with clay. There will be options to work with the clay either at a table or on the floor, or in other ways as access needs arise. Please communicate specific access needs to the Love-In team via email - info@tolovein.com

Coordinating Bodies/Objects
Our time together will unfold in two parts. It is guided by establishing unconventional shared logics between a body and an object (electrical wires).

Part One: Working through movement coordinations we will dance to morph between simple and complex patterns. We will traverse across the room to music. A phrase combining multiples of these elements may emerge.

Part Two: How does our body become an object? Or vice versa, How does an object become our body? Using faulty electrical wires we will work in relation with these objects to begin understanding these questions.

Social Choreography Lab
Social Choreography Lab hosts an environment for developing choreographic scores with and for social bodies. Social bodies is a term for all affective bodies in motion such as: humans, more-than-humans, plants, sites, places, materials, objects, atmosphere, and weather. Scores, here, can enact an event and, even without activation, appear poetic in text or design. They also hold potential for gesture and action; and act as parameters for engendering reciprocal relationality. 

Through movement exercises, guided improvisation, dancing with objects, score-reading and -writing participants will work to generate and uphold a specific motional relationship that decentralizes human choreographies.

who is this for?
This is a session for folks interested in movement and exploration through the performance of scores. Participants are invited to perform or witness as they desire. The session will be guided, but open for folks to interpret and move-through how they desire.

un-tidaled
In the digital space, we will engage in a collective reading performance experiment. 

Think durational performance meets speech act theory, meets “reading group”. 

Participants are invited to bring one page critical/poetic readings discussing movement in any way or form. Sent prior to the facilitation, participants improvise the practice of collective reading together, while sporadically other participants may turn their cameras off to engage in a response-based durational movement exploration, then turn their cameras back on to participate in the reading and listening. 

Redefining performance and roles of audienceship, this experiment offers the space to simply exist at your own pace while exchanging knowledge. Practicing the disjunctive autonomy of the body within the digital space, we create a time to play within the attunements and questions of “who is our research for?”

Digital interruptions happen by accident quite frequently in online meetings, so how can we sit with them in the light of a digital improvised performance, where the goal of the score is to simply listen.

who is it for?
Any level. For artists, poets, scholars, movers, and all enthusiasts. Access anywhere in your own space.

accessibility for participants
Join the session with a writing surface (notebook/journal/paper/device), writing/drawing device (pen, pencil, crayons, chalk, etc.), tech device to log into digital session (laptop, phone, etc.) 

We will be using our voices, we encourage you to have access to water as needed.

We will start the session through sharing research tied to this experiment, and then explore the experiment through collective reading out loud together and off-camera performance, then end the session with a brief reflection session.

When registering participants must email a picture or file of their one page reading to jasmine@tolovein.com by June 24, 2026.

DanceMore (Embody Dance) - TRANSlating the world into movement

The workshop will be part community building/creative research that supports all kinds of dance goals and artistic practices. It will include score building and process development for and by emerging artists. Participants will get to explore somatic driven movement, structured improvisation and learning experts of developing work. DanceNOW is the premier installment of embody dance, which will start in the fall of 2026, and will support emerging queer, trans and BIPOC emerging dance artists and youth in the GTA.

Participants are encouraged to arrive with:

Comfortable moving clothes, pen/pencil/writing utensil, waterbottle, snacks as they see fit

desire dance
Desire dance. A chance to meet a sweet home inside yourself. A chance to touch the parts of you that want to be held, heard, seen, and dance. Space to feel. To press into your own existence. To breathe, see, sweat, pulse, trance, and charge up. A continuous flow. A place to give a little… or a lot. Your chance to dance. Available to something big and small, simultaneously.

who is this for?
No dance experience needed. A willingness to listen and try and enjoy is all that’s needed.
