Li Li completed an intensive, month-long massage training program at a trade school in Beijing in March 2025. In subsequent months, via connections she had amassed in her hippie dippie era, she hosted a series of massage workshops at various artist-run spaces and went on an 8-day massage spree running a massage booth at an underground noise music festival in the city.

Wednesday April 15, 7–9pm, Li Li will lead a massage workshop at Mouse, inviting all to explore the dialogue between one body and another. The main focus area for the evening will be upper and lower backs.

The bulk of the two-hour event will be spent practicing massage techniques in pairs; comfortable clothing, a yoga mat, a neck pillow, and fresh socks (as it will be a shoes-off event) are strongly recommended. The workshop will be preceded by a brief keynote on her experience learning and sharing massage in Beijing.

Come through!! Giving massages is much more physically demanding than it looks, but still not as much as small talk!!
