Outreach

TRIBE offers a variety of outreach projects, including movement workshops, lectures, artist talks, and Q&A sessions, to engage with communities where we perform. We’ve had the privilege of being part of programming at leading universities, art institutions, and festivals both across the U.S. and internationally. Through these activities, we connect with students, dance enthusiasts, and professionals, sharing not only how we create our work but, most importantly, why we do it.
TRIBE Workshops in Your Community
We’re currently offering outreach activities led by TRIBE artists Shamel Pitts, Tushrik Fredericks,
Ashley Pierre-Louis, and Marcella Lewis.
If you’re interested in hosting any of these programs in your community, please reach out to Sophie Myrtil-McCourty at Lotus Arts Management to learn more.

Shamel Pitts | In~Practice
The In~Practice Movement Workshop, guided by Shamel Pitts, is grounded in developing physical efficiency & proficiency, expressive range, and clarity through creative prompts. We will physically examine & experience embodied movement sources, dynamics, speed & rhythm & groove, aliveness within stillness, while incorporating visualization to discover our unique individual expression through dancing in a communal space.

Tushrik Fredericks | R~i~G
R~i~G is an alternative contemporary movement practice where rigor, intention, play, and rhythmic creativity intertwine to deepen our personal and collective connection to our spiritual dancing bodies—to express, to enhance, to transcend. We begin with breath work, grounding ourselves in the present moment, then move into exercises that awaken deep articulation in the spine and joints. From there, playful prompts invite exploration, flowing seamlessly into a movement phrase created together in real-time.

MARCELLA LEWIS | MOVEMENT ALCHEMY
A guided embodiment practice that connects us to the essential elements; water, fire, earth, and air – all elements we have within us.
Air, water, fire, and earth are powerful tools and teachers. Each one offers us a unique lens through which we can examine our inner world and the world around us. By engaging with these elements through embodiment practices, reflective journaling, and meaningful conversation, we invite healing, insight, presence, connection, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other.
