Workshop

Prices

Free, booking required

In this three-hour workshop, the broom is used as a central axis connecting the archetypes of the witch and the housemaid.

Facilitated by artists Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera, the broom becomes a tool for playful transformation and somatic exploration.

Participants explore what it means to extend oneself through the broom, becoming one and becoming wild. Together, we’ll focus on the power of intention through movement and collectivity, and investigate the spectrum of beauty and monstrosity.

This workshop is open to all and ideal for anyone looking to gain a deeper insight into the powerful modes of physicality and performance interwoven within Magic Maids.

Please bring your own broom!
