Enter a waking dream as Northwest Film Forum’s space is transformed in celebration of the longest night of 2021. Full of music performances, guided movement, wellness activities, participatory rituals, and countless inventions culled from subconscious states, LONGEST NIGHT is a communally-minded, staff-invented, season-inspired Solstice party that brings light to the liminal space of the year’s darkest day.
This is a collective Sagittarius and Capricorn year-end party! If you would like to participate in the festivities and have a birthday this season, please e-mail vivian@nwfilmforum.org to see how you can get involved.
** Most programming is still TBA; we’ll be adding things here as they are confirmed! **

~ Woozy ~
Woozy is a Matt Drews’s guided movement meditation that disrupts and reorders isolation. We hold a queer lens on apocalypse inside a guided dance party of unveiling. It’s designed for all bodies to separate from stagnation and move into spacious embodiment. This is not a workout class, it’s a psychonautic surge.
Through the raw freedom of our bodies moving we reach towards ecstatic states. We aim for the liminal, a dreamy seam of trance that awakens the flesh and unwinds the mind. You’ll be guided through a series of poetic cues and become a conduit for many textures, images, states, and rhythms. Get wooz’d out, fade into wholeness, and ride a lucid groove towards healing and connection.
