Movement Without Borders is a perfect complement to PS21/Chatham PATHWAYS, our annual series of creative placemaking that fosters collaboration between regional and local artists and the community to enhance cultural life and well-being. Led by contemporary performance and theater luminaries, Movement Without Borders brings yoga, Pilates, exercise, dance, and self-expression to young and old. Instructors are drawn from talented professionals based in the Hudson Valley, visiting from Bennington’s MFA dance program, and elsewhere.
Movement Without Borders sessions are held in our sprung-floor Dance Barn, Pavilion Theater stage, and on PS21’s 100 acres of trails, open spaces, meadows, woodlands, and orchards. Open to the public from dawn to dusk, the grounds offer stunning views of the Catskills from the hills behind our theater. These priceless resources are available for our artists and our community, and there’s no better time than this spring and summer to get acquainted with this splendid “backyard.”
Parking is available at the following address:
2980 Route 66
Chatham, NY 12037
Please bring your own mask, water, mat, and towel. Masks are required for all Movement Without Borders sessions.
Thursdays, beginning May 13, 5:30 pm
As a movement educator and director of Spring Inside Pilates, Peggy brings an intimate understanding of the body and a spirit of playful creativity to her work. Her passion for exploring the world through movement has taken her from the stage to the Pilates studio, where for 20 years she has guided students in their own kinesthetic explorations. Peggy’s classes marry the precision and whole-body flow of traditional Pilates with creative sequences that draw from embodied anatomy, fascial & neuroscience. A Chatham resident, Peggy is thrilled to be joining PS21 in supporting artists and our local community, teaching movement as a tool to connect to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
