Radial diamond kinetics

(community dance workout) led by Hana van der Kolk

Radial diamond kinetics is an ever-evolving approach to sweating/dancing/working out in connection with others/as a ritual. In an rdk session we explore imagination-centering prompts and practices as a way to jostle/expand how we move/feel in/about our bodies and we do a simple dance workout that focuses on releasing, stretching, strength, coordination, endurance, moving with/through inhibitions, jokes, and playful drama. Together, we cultivate a supportive environment for collective alchemy, all to a carefully selected accompaniment of music. 

Pricing/packages

Sliding scale $60-125 for all five sessions. $22 to drop into one class.

Hana van der Kolk

is a queer dancer, artist, educator, writer, Internal Family Systems guide, sex and gender expansion worker, and facilitator of events and spaces based on unceded Mohican, Mohawk, and Haudenosaunee lands in the Hudson Valley, New York. Hana is made by these lands and by the lands of Massachusetts, Vermont, Southern California, and the Netherlands, where their parents and grandparents are from. Hana’s work is collaborative, body-centered, and emerges from curiosity about care, contradiction, multiplicity, reckoning and reparations, eros, form, the sacred, sound, and attention to humans’ porous and weblike natures. This work straddles art and performance, socio-political inquiry, pedagogy, celebration, and personal and collective restoration and transformation, and manifests as performances, workshops, one-on-one counseling, sex and gender expansion work, events/curation, writing, videos, and gifts, sites, and costumes. Hana sees creative, body-based work/play in these many forms as conduits for knowing/unknowing what is here and now, for re-membering intimacy at many proximities.

Hana has worked internationally as a teacher and facilitator, performer, and artist since 2001, and currently collaborates/has collaborated with Erica Dawn Lyle, Tomislav Feller, Lea Keiffer, Eli Nixon, Adam Tinkle, Erin Sickler, Angela Beallor, Elizabeth Press, Senem Pirler, Lailye Weidman, taisha paggett, Sean Desiree, Jason Martin, Asher Woodworth, Ellen Foster, and many others. They hold an MFA in Dance from UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures and a PhD from the Art Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, are a longtime student of Buddhist philosophy and practice, and are trained in the Internal Family Systems and Urban Tantra.
