Join Exit12's cohort of veterans, military-connected individuals, and artists for a workshop series and culminating performance in honor of Memorial Day at the Intrepid Museum on Friday, May 30, 2025.
Exit12 and the Intrepid Museum partner again for our 3rd annual movement workshop and performance series in honor of Memorial Day 2025. Over eight weeks, Exit12's workshops will foster expression, connection, and healing through movement. These guided movement explorations investigate themes of identity, resilience, and life transitions. Partner and group exercises promote collaboration and trust building, allowing participants to reflect and share their stories in our culminating performance on May 30, 2025. By sharing these stories we aim to build cross-cultural dialogue, empathy, and healing. Movement created during the workshop series will be presented in a public performance at the Intrepid Museum, followed by a post-show dialogue with the audience.
