Cinematic Exposures Movement Workshop
May 2, 2026 | 1 PM | Ballet Wichita, 1600 W Douglas Ave | 0-$20 sliding scale admission
Join Smackdab Dance Lab for a movement workshop tracing the emotional landscape of hardship, betrayal, and healing. Through indie dream-pop textures and guided exploration, participants will move through layers of unraveling, remembering, and reimagining what it means to begin again.
Rhiannon Vieyra is one of the featured choreographers for the upcoming Smack Dab Dance Fest (you don’t even know what that is yet… but you will soon). As she is preparing this new work, she extends this invitation to the community to come and experience some of the process.
Trained dancers and lovers of dance are invited to be part of the experiment. Studio doors will open at 12:30 for you to come and indulge in your own warm up. At 1 PM, Rhiannon will facilitate a short group warm up and then start diving deep.
Spots are limited. The fee for this experience is on a sliding scale ($0-$20). We don’t want cost to be a barrier, please pay what you can. See you soon!
Shout out to Ballet Wichita for hosting us in their space!

Next week
Intro to Photography with Joshua Jones and Patrick Heath
6-week Course | Starts on May 4, 2026 | 120 E 1st St N Ste 115 | $200 per student | Register Online with link below
Joshua Jones and Patrick Heath are partnering with Harvester Arts to provide Wichita with a photography class!
Do you love taking photos but only use automatic settings? Or, have you always wanted to get into photography but just don’t know where to start? Then this class is for you.
This class is designed to teach you everything there is to know about manual photography. We will go over the fundamentals and equip you with the knowledge to achieve your creative vision. The way the class is designed is each week we will get together, go over last weeks photos talk about certain aspects of what we’re learning, then we will go out into the field to put into practice everything that we review. This is a fundamentals class, but we will also touch on specialized styles of photography like Landscape, street, portraits, and minimalism. The best way to learn is to do and that’s what this class is for!
The class will take place on Mondays from 6-9 PM for the 6-week duration.
