Embedded Files
The Mariposa Collective hosts ooLaboratory gatherings to facilitate creative explorations between artists of different disciplines within our community. The goal of these events is to inspire collaborations and weave the arts community together, building relationships. When the participants arrive for the coLaboratory, those present finalize the format and structure of the event. Depending on who is in attendance, there could be a movement warm up, theater games, drawing, a writing exercise or a vocal improv. Each coLaboratory is unique depending on the gifts of the group. Our most recent coLaboratory was April 4th from 2-4pm at Mi Chantli Movement & Art Sanctuary in Boulder. Alli Jones, Mariposa Collective Core member and Artistic Director of Nosilla Dance Project, led the movement, and choreography. She was joined by visual artist Laurel Miller on color, flow, and meditation and by vocalist and sound explorer Elena Camerin Young to create the soundscape with participants.

We are excited to welcome Mariposa Collective collaborator ShawnT Stone to teach in July!
This dance class will be for all levels with a focus on the sensational and expressive quality of ‘technique’ in movement. Technique can be understood as the act placing the body where you intend it be, when you intend it be there, while transitioning through aligned efficiency of anatomy, mind, emotion, and heart/spirit. A long, gooey and often yoga adjacent, warm-up will prepare bodies for the movement phrase of the class. Movement curiosities, across the floor, play, and thematic tones will support dancers to embody a culminating movement phrase.
ShawnT Stone (they/she) is a multidisciplinary artist, movement facilitator, and somatic art therapist (MA, LPCC, ATR-P) residing in Boulder, CO. ShawnT earned their BA in studio art/communication studies from the University of Iowa where they were a four year letter winning NCAA gymnast. They performed professionally as an acrobat (including three years in Le Reve, The Dream at Wynn Las Vegas) before earning their MFA in Dance from the University of Maryland, where they were a graduate teaching assistant (2019). They have taught, choreographed, and performed dance internationally, including performances at the Beijing Modern Dance Festival, The Kennedy Center, and Jacob’s Pillow. ShawnT’s creative work explores the intersections of movement/dance, somatic experience, and visual art invested in integrative queering, social-environmental justice, and contemplative imagination as world making.
