Muisc - Bad Posture Club is the duo Maren Day and Morgan Kavanagh. Together they craft original music and reinterpret traditional folk songs. Before relocating to the Twin Cities, they grew up in the Pacific Northwest and have been playing music together since 2013. With voices, banjo, and guitar, they invite intimacy and togetherness in song.
Dance - Leilawa
Leilawa is a Palestinian-American dance artist / activist based in Minneapolis. Her works in choreography, installation performance and film have been shared widely across the Twin Cities. Recently Leilawa has been performing, teaching, and facilitating dance exchanges in Beirut, Lebanon and Bethlehem, Palestine where most of her research takes place. She was a company member of Ananya Dance Theatre (2014-2019) and a co-creator of the Kelvin Wailey dance trio.
Poetry - Lisasia
Lisasia is a multidisciplinary artist who sows vulnerability into pictures and words in hopes of reminding others that our emotional bodies are wise and when given the space, will open doors we didn't know existed. Intimate, sweet, and penetrating, her words aim to inspire our inner and outer relationship with that truth, in all its forms.
This month's event we will be raising funds for D.N.A. (Divine Natural Ancestry) - a Minneapolis based organization working to get free food directly to as many communities as possible in the Twin Cities with the least access to healthy, fresh and sustainable foods.
