Co-conceived and taught by Abby Crain and Margit Galanter, Art Workouts workshops ran from 2011 - 2015 at locations such as Kuns-Stoff Arts, Counterpulse, the Dance Palace (Pt Reyes), Temescal Arts Center, The Garager (SF), Berkeley Art Museum, and Pieter Performance (LA). The workshops were inextricably linked to performance events, laboratories, study groups, readings, performance video watching, experiments, discourse, translations, veerings, collectivity, care, community-building, fermentations, and so much more. They were a hub for connections, dance, composition, friendship-building, and research creation in the Bay Area for years.
