Hey DMV BGP Fam! 🍂✨
Get ready to wrap up the year with warmth, laughter, and all the feels at our DMVs Friendsgiving! Join us for a cozy, potluck-style gathering where the only thing better than the food is the company.
Move & paint with Sigourney Norman! Come warm up your body and get your hands a little dirty as we explore painting & drawing techniques that capture movement, fluidity and sensuality.
This class uses movement to ground us in our bodies as vessels of self love and teaches drawing and painting techniques based on communicating tension, fluidity, movement and stillness. These techniques help us move away from depicting our bodies through anti-black and fat-phobic lenses and towards depicting our bodies through liberation.
Attire: Comfort & Luxury. Dress in whatever makes you feel most luxurious—from lavish robes to vibrant feather boas to your favorite pair of slippers and everything in between! We want you to feel at ease during your reclamation process.
