Big Moves presents our annual chocolate tasting and performance showcase, featuring our own emFATic DANCE and special guests Tigress Osborn; Shapes & Shades Dance Company; Ifasina ThaHood AlKemist; and more!. Plus a Cupcakes and Muffintops fatshion show! Storyteller Ames Beezer emcees! This low-key, family-friendly, body positive event is a wonderful way to incorporate community and warmth into your Fall schedule. Of course, we will also have an all-you-care-to-eat buffet of chocolates from local chocolatiers. Come in costume and show your Halloween spirit! Goody bags for the kids, too!
We are so looking forward to seeing everyone in costume on Saturday night...Halloween fun times indeed! That said, please be mindful when you are dressing up and avoid being culturally appropriative, racist, transphobic, fatphobic, ableist, or otherwise hurtful with your costumes. A good round-up of the issue can be found here: http://colorlines.com/archives/2011/10/in_the_immortal_words_of.html Please also keep in mind that this is an event where kids will be in attendance. We appreciate your care and creativity!
