Four Wednesdays for Midday Moving

Let’s meet in April for 4 Wednesdays from 1-1:45p and take some time to move in ways that our bodies (and minds) need. You will be guided by me and my many years of study and service to the moving body. We’ll meet in downtown Pittsfield in my intimate, bright, calm, and creative studio space. Every session will be made exactly for who is in the room and will end with a little bit of facilitated unwinding from me.

All bodies are welcome. Space is limited. Please contact Stefanie.lynx.weberATgmail to rsvp or to inquiry about other days and time for sessions.

$20 each OR pre-register for ALL 4 for $65.

Plenty of parking and the building is easily accessibly. Clock Tower Business Center at 75 So. Church St., 3rd Fl. Clock Tower Artists Studio #313

(across from Big Y and next to Miller Art Supply)

Stefanie Weber is an action-based dance artist and a certified movement specialist who offers private sessions in GYROTONIC and CFT (CranioSacral Fascial Therapy) along with aerial silks fascial release and restorative exercise principles. Her methods are also drawn from her life-long study of dance, somatic movement, meditation, energy, anatomy, and nature

I am so grateful for the many years of working with Stefanie. Her great experience, skill and warmth helped me in so many ways. I gained a new sense of the power of alignment in my body, both for healing and for functioning in general. Stefanie really instilled a new sense of mindfulness of the body in motion. I can’t recommend her highly enough! -Barbara Bonner, Housatonic, MA

An Unsilent Auction

We are back in action!

They Dance For Rain and The Foundry announce the long-awaited benefit event, SOFT SHOE BOOM BOOM SPIN!, an echo of the wildly successful interactive fundraising events SOFT SHOE BOOM (2015) and SOFT SHOE BOOM BOOM (2019). The funds raised from this event go directly to supporting They Dance For Rain’s dance-making programs in Nairobi, Kenya.

The event will take place on Saturday February 11th at 7pm at The Foundry at 2 Harris St in West Stockbridge, MA and will feature an experimental and interactive un-silent auction of improvising musicians who will respond to the participation of the audience who purchase from a menu of items for directing and conducting the performers.

Musicians include: Adriana Tampasis (flute), Andy Wrba (bass), Beth Craig (cello), Bonnie McCubbin (violin), Charlie Tokarz (saxophone), Conor Meehan (drums), Justin Geyer (keyboard) and tap dancer Stefanie Weber. More musicians and special instruments to be announced! 🙂

Before the musical feature, the audience will have the opportunity to add their words to a “mad libs” script written just for this event by the amazing Don Jordan and spontaneously performed by the audacious members of his Nutshell Playhouse crew: Maizy Scarpa, Mark Hohlstein, and Maddy Campbell.

A short work-in-progress film edited by Michael Sinopoli highlighting the Virtual Residency work of They Dance For Rain during the pandemic will be shown at the start of the evening when project directors Weber and Pizzichemi will reveal the exciting itinerary of this winter’s journey to Nairobi. 

The event will culminate with an Afro-Dance-Electro-Pop playlist dance party.

Creative projections by artist Joe Wheaton accenting the camera work of fine arts photographer Monika Pizzichemi will light the space throughout the night.

There will be a cash bar.

$25 for 7p entry for Unsilent Auction
