ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The Whole Self - The workshop will be focused on exploring how we can show up in the studio as our whole self, bringing and embracing not only our physical bodies, but our mental, emotional, and spiritual ones too. How can we awaken and integrate our thoughts, feelings, ideas, imaginations, personal histories, and the very essence of who we are into our movement practice? How would showing up as your whole self serve you in your work as an artist.
We will play games, move & groove, sweat, push, have fun, go deep, connect, dance, be theatrical, be epic, get uncomfortable, talk, share, and celebrate. There will be guidance via invitations, suggestions, and prompts, but no taught material.
