Calling All Who Desire to Loosen Up & Those Who Need to Sway Someone(s)

San Francisco artist, improvista, and arts advocate Momos Cheeskos offers two incredible workshops right before the holicraze to help us co-create some levity, connect with folx of shared values, and share our passionate & silly stories. Both workshops provide a semi-structured, equity-centered environment so that you can let go and just be your self, should you so desire. These are spaces to see and be seen, which are so crucial as we consider how to share space and time with relatives and relations who may not accept us fully as we are.

Improv Gateway for New & Seasoned Players will get you tossing a virtual ball, moving while making silly sounds, and improvising a scene with at least two other players. You don’t need any skills in acting or performing, just a desire to be brave and take a risk and see what happens. It’s on Monday, November 15, 2021, at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET.

60-Second Advocacy is perfect for anyone who wants help sharing something about which they are passionate in around 60-seconds. This is especially helpful for anyone who needs to make public comment at a Police Commission / Board of Ed meeting or anyone who might find themselves stuck around a dinner table with your QAnon uncle. Momos will make it easy for you to share exactly how you feel. It’s on Thursday, November 18, 2021, at 4:30pm PT / 7:30pm ET.

All workshops are limited to 12 people and are Pay-What-You-Can (and pay more if you got it.)

A comic strip in four parts. Part one: someone with one earring and their back to the audience looking out at a landscape of two trees and an atomic blast. Underneath it reads, "It may feel like & actually be the end of the world..." Panel Two: the person is to the left of the panel and the atomic blast is now is a dark gray, as if it is fading. A thought bubble extends from the figures head. There are other thought bubbles coming from the right of the panel, though no one can be seen. They both lead to a bigger bubble with a healthy tree in it. The branches of the tree include the work liberation. The writing underneath reads, "...but I still wanna dream..." Panel Three: the figure is a bit further to the left. A new figure appears on the right. A tree with heart fruits blooms between them. Each figure is holding a heart. There is no more atomic blast. Underneath it reads, "...and co-create a world without oppression with you." Panel Four: a hand reaching up from the bottom left. extending from its thumb is a thought bubble. Extending from its middle fingers is a tree. Extending from its pinky is a heart. the title reads, "Queering Dreams." Underneath it reads, "So let's be comrades.
