HOLD FAST: Introduction to Performance Art Workshop with Joliz Dela Peña

August 7, 2025, 2-5pm

Join HOLD FAST Featured Artist Joliz Dela Peña for Intro to Performance Art: Body, Space & Resistance.

This workshop-laboratory introduces participants to performance art as a powerful medium for storytelling, activism, and embodied resistance. Through guided exercises, discussions, and interactive movement explorations, participants will learn how to use their bodies, gestures, objects, and even public space to communicate ideas and challenge societal narratives.

The workshop will conclude with a collective reflection, inviting participants to share their experiences and consider how performance art can serve as a tool for expression and social critique.

This workshop is open to all experience levels, no prior performance experience required, just a curiosity about the medium.

Participants are asked to wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move on the floor and bring a mat/cushion. Joliz also invites you to bring an item to explore and/or an intention to carry with them through the experience. This class is best suited for adults (ages 16+).
