Slowly, Slowly, We Begin Again - September 18th, 19th, and 20th, 2026
Tickets for Reprise Performance in Philly“Slowly, slowly we begin again... ” is an evening length dance performance choreographed and performed by Katherine M Yatsko exploring her transition into motherhood through the lens of a snail.
Through immersive scenery and an ethereal soundscape, the audience will be transported into a snail’s story; A story of discovering what it means to become home to yourself as you become home to someone else.
Learning to slow down and adapt to the surrounding environment is an integral part to becoming a parent for the first time and Katherine has found solace in exploring that experience through this other world, a world on the forest floor surrounded by oak trees and moss, a world of crickets, snails, and slugs, a world we are being invited into.
As the story unspirals, Katherine comes home to herself again and again and again, filling her shell with what matters most to her as she realizes that she, like a snail, can take her home with her wherever she goes.

Movement for Mamas
Movement for Mamas is a supportive, embodied movement class created by a mom, for other moms. This practice invites birth parents to slow down and reconnect with themselves through gentle stretching, breathing exercises, and guided, expressive movement.
No dance or movement experience is needed. This class is not about performance or transformation of the body, but about coming home to yourself with compassion, presence, and care.
The class is centered on you, the birth parent. Babies and toddlers are welcome to be present in the space with you. While there is no additional childcare provider, children may observe, interact, or move alongside you if they wish. The intention is to support your embodiment and care within the realities of caregiving.
