Ecstatic Dance + Contact Improv ft. GÖLDNWAV

Hailing originally from Detroit, Ashtara Kukuk aka GÖLDNWAV set out a decade ago to travel the world to see how the people move and want to be moved. Learning the language of the uninhibited body became a nonstop passion and guided her deeper into the study of music and the world of DJing. GÖLDNWAV sets are curated to move the body & breath into new shapes, dimensions, and unchartered explorations. Heavy bass hitters, dirty trap, world beats, and glimmering organic sounds are woven into a journey of returning to Self. With 15+ years experience as a Professional Dancer turned Somatic Dance Guide, DJing became a natural and passionate extension of her work. She believes, movement and music together heals our modern-day crazy. DJing with the likes of Maddy O’Neal and featured at various festivals such as Unison Fest & High Vibe, as well as Resident DJ at various ecstatic dances from the Hawaiian Islands to the Dirty South; ASHTARA'S sets are a true eclectic yet curated experience tailored for you.
