Planet M is a meditative jam space for both movers and musicians.

You will be guided through meditation, personal warm-up and open space where we create an intentional yet playful circle to share dance and music in community. Dancers and musicians of all levels are invited.

Facilitator: Ryuta Iwashita

Ryuta Iwashita (they/them) currently lives and improvises in Bulbancha (also colonially known as New Orleans). Their artistic lexicons are rooted in dance improvisation, social justice, somatics, martial arts, child education, and ancestral work including 祖体 (SOTAI) of which Ryuta is its conceiver. 

Their work and teaching move and respond to mystical juxtapositions of phenomena, systems, and galaxies, — the one between their Japanese heritage and their westernized life in the Southern US, between a day of organic farming and a night of MSG-heavy instant noodles, between their beloved’s indulge in watching TikTok and their grandfather’s indulge in eating raw chicken gizzards, and between their internal organs and their ancestors moving and pausing as stars.
