move: Here&Now is a new nomadic workshop series presented by Aeris Körper.
wandering from place to place around different locations in Hamilton, Ontario, movement-curious folks ages 16+ are invited to move & groove with guest facilitators on the last Saturday of each month, from noon to two.
workshops are always PWYC and open to all.
come with a spirit of curiosity and creativity; come hungry to explore new places
and new pathways of movement.
leave with new connections, new sensations, and new-found joy in your body.
We are currently accepting applications from choreographers and movement-based performing artists with new works to be presented at Here&Now in April of 2025. Application deadline is August 15th.
THANK YOU
We’re excited to announce that we are recipient of a 2024 Creator Award by at the Hamilton Arts Award.! Congratulations to all the nominees; we celebrate the incredible talent our city holds
Thank you so much for this incredible honor. Reflecting on 10 years of dancing, choreographing, and performing in this vibrant city is truly amazing. Your support has been a beacon of encouragement and inspiration.
To the individuals, organizations, the City of Hamilton Enrichment Fund, and the patrons who have backed Aeris Korper over the years—you are the wind beneath our wings. To our family and friends, your unwavering support has given us momentum to keep pursuing our dance dreams. To our board and collaborators, you are the binding force within our small but mighty organization.
Now more than ever, we recognize that art and dance are not luxuries but essential contributors to our physical and mental well-being. Empowering ourselves through movement and physical expression allows us to fully experience the magnitude of our aliveness.
Your support has not only allowed us to create and perform but has also empowered us to foster spaces where embodiment contributes to our collective well-being. It is Aeris Korper’s honour to be one of the organizations championing the importance of dance for Hamiltonians.
Body Space Creation Place
with Dreamwalker Dance Company
Staying well and active at home during this time of global uncertainty can be challenging for all of us as we strive to move forward together.
Dreamwalker Dance Company invites you to join us in expanding and opening our bodies and minds through a series of free wellness movement experiences facilitated by skilled artists. These videos are created for you, and are available 24/7 for you to delight in the diversely creative approaches found in The Body Space Creation Place practice. Our video sessions are designed to be fun, relaxing, rejuvenating, calming and connecting.
You will be guided into: flowing gentle stretches, simple vocal play, image rich visualizations and movements. No experience is required, just bring a curiosity for exploring, sensing, feeling and moving in space. As you move with us through these videos, please move in ways which fully support what you know to be "safe and supportive to you" in the moment you are doing it. BSCP is designed for our community to share time: gaining experiences and practicing embodied knowing, with the intention to activate this practice beyond the parameters of the session time into lived experiences with family, friends and community.
