As part of her “Moving with the Hydrocommons” project, Great Plains Student Storyteller in Residence Mac Kelsey is hosting a movement workshop for the public at Frank Shoemaker Marsh on Dec. 21 (winter solstice) from 1-2:15 p.m. Attendees should meet at the parking lot/trail head for this free workshop.
In this session, the group will explore playful movement practices intended to open our senses to the environment.
Guided by exploratory prompts, the group will venture out on a sensory “seek-and-find” through the saline wetlands to discover different tactile, aural, visual, and other sensory experiences individually, in pairs, or as a small group.
Afterward, the group will reconvene for a closing reflection to share what we encountered and what we hope to find next.

“Moving with the Hydrocommons” is a project that asks what water teaches us. From streams to snow, what can we learn from water about how we move through and make sense of ourselves, each other, and the world beyond? Stories collected from the public, in response to this question, will guide the creation of an experimental dance film about bodies of water in the Great Plains.
Mac Kelsey is a teacher, artist, researcher and PhD candidate in Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education at UNL. She focuses on developing curricula and pedagogies for technology/media studies, cultural theory, and somatic practices in education.
