Movement Workshop Will Tackle Isolation

Fri, 11/06/2020 - 14:34
Gail Baranello is the creator of the Moving Through workshop series.

On Thursday, Gail Baranello, co-owner of the A&G Dance Company, will lead a gentle, Covid-safe workshop called Moving Through Isolation, based around the emotions people have been experiencing during the pandemic.

Hosted by Southampton Cultural Center at 25 Pond Lane, Southampton Village, the A&G Dance company says it hopes to combat isolation felt during the pandemic by addressing fear, loneliness, and depression through guided movement.

“We are all in this together, but we also have our individual experiences and it’s important to identify our unique feelings during this time,” reads the online event description.  

A&G Dance Company says the class allows self-assessment through journaling as well as movement, which can help participants feel self-aware and release emotions.

The studio advises anyone interested to wear comfortable layered clothes and to take a journal, pen, and water. Kids 12 and up are welcome to the class, which will be indoors. Registration is limited to 12 people. The class costs $25 per person. Masks are required.

Time to Strip, Dip, Freeze

Polar plunges at Main Beach in East Hampton and Beach Lane in Wainscott on New Year’s Day accomplish many things: bracing and exhilarating starts to the year, the company of many hundreds of friends and fellow townspeople, and a chance to secure bragging rights that extend well into 2026. But most important, each serves as a critical fund-raiser for food pantries.

Support Where It’s Most Needed

Soon after moving to Water Mill with her family in 2015, Marit Molin became aware of a largely unacknowledged population underpinning the complicated Hamptons economy. That led her to create Hamptons Community Outreach, which is dedicated to meeting basic critical needs to help break cycles of poverty.
