With the New Year just around the corner, get ready for some changes! This workshop is all about rebirth. Sky will talk about how we form our identities, how to try on new ones for size, as well as the process of shedding a past self to rebirth into a new identity that feels right for you. Sky will demonstrate different transformations using fashion, movement, posturing and imagination. Sky says: “I have gone through many rebirths in my life, which is why I named my clothing line Rebirth Garments, whether it has been my sexuality, gender, mental illness or disability identities, all of these changes and transformations have been integral to who I am now.”
