Pleasure Viewing is an embodied movement practice, where we invite the body to fully come along as you engage with artwork. It does not require any previous movement training, simply a willingness to participate. We bring attention to and get curious about our ability to access experiences of pleasure that reside in and around our bodies. We stay gently connected to our bodies, to others, and to our experiences of pleasure, while taking in the exhibition.  

This offering invites you to see the artwork through a new lens and notice connections between your external and internal experiences of the world. With pleasure and comfort as a starting point, participants are invited to reflect, share, and re-enter the artwork repeatedly. 

By leaning into both past and future, and connecting with powerful feminine energy, this workshop invites participants to play with what these themes feel like in their bodies before fully entering the world of Rajni Perera’s exhibition Futures. 

Bio:  
Vanessa A. Woulfe (BFA, BEd, MFA) is a dancer, educator, and somatic facilitator whose work bridges movement, trauma-informed practice, and embodied learning. Raised in Tkaronto (Toronto), she spent many years working as an independent contemporary dancer alongside roles in teaching at York University, workshop facilitation, and community leadership. 

While completing her MFA in 2013, Vanessa developed Pleasure Sourcing, an embodied movement practice that centers curiosity, sensation, and agency. She has since shared this work through classes, workshops, and conferences, supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies as sites of knowledge, resilience, and creativity. 

In 2020, Vanessa relocated to Tk’emlúps (Kamloops) to be closer to family and to deepen her somatic training. Through her business, Stellarfeels, Vanessa works with individuals and organizations to cultivate body-based insight, nervous system regulation, and meaningful connection. She is known for her grounded, engaging presence and her ability to create spaces where embodiment becomes both accessible and transformative.
