A special event to explore "FREEDOM" in both our minds and our bodies! In recent collaborations, we've explored COFFEE, COMMUNITY, and DEBATE through thought experiments and immersive experiences... This time we're exploring the theme of FREEDOM through Swing Dance and laid-back philosophical conversations. The evening will comprise two rounds of thought experiments (tiny stories that spark big questions) by Bonny, and two rounds of movement, by Swing Dance experts, Elze and Richard. No experience, shoes, fancy clothes, or partners necessary. Come as you are and participate as much or as little as you'd like. The bar will be open before, during, and after the event.
