What’s a Collegium, Anyway? (It starts so soon!)

You may have heard about the upcoming Dark Room Ballet Collegium, an upcoming free series of workshops sponsored by Dark Room Ballet that is starting very soon — the first workshop is coming up Thursday, October 9, 2025 from 6 PM to 8 PM on Zoom!

But what is a Collegium, anyway?

Merriam-Webster says, in part, that a collegium is:

An organized society or group: association” and also “a college, especially one in a university.”

That means that this series of high quality workshops, all provided for free by a group of passionate blind and low-vision professional artists, is like a Dark Room Ballet temporary university!

Read on to learn more about each offering, and reach out via email to register for any or all of these workshops at: info@darkroomballet.com to begin the registration process.

*If you have emailed but have not received a reply, we should have your message, but feel free to write again!

You can hear Krishna talk about the Collegium in a video on YouTube (with open captions and a transcript available):

A Practice of Being Workshop with Kayla Hamilton

About Kayla Hamilton:

Kayla Hamilton is a Texas-born, Bronx-based dancer, performance maker, educator, consultant and artistic director of Circle O—a cultural organization uplifting Black Disabled and other multiply marginalized creatives.

About This Workshop:

Come exactly as you are—rested or restless, steady or stirred. In this improvisational movement space, there are no set steps and no pressure to perform. We begin with breath, curiosity, and a shared willingness to see what wants to emerge. Movement may arrive small and subtle—or bold and expansive. It might surprise you, delight you, or teach you something  about how your body wants to be known.

Together, we’ll play, experiment, and follow sensation as it leads us into rhythm, stillness, or flow. Each moment becomes an invitation to the next. There are no wrong turns—only new possibilities. 

For anyone who craves freedom in movement, trusts—or wants to trust—their impulses, and is ready to say “yes” , together.

Workshop Date and Details:

This workshop will be offered virtually on Zoom.

The workshop is two hours long, from 4 PM to 6 PM on  Wednesday November 19, 2025
