Thursday January 30, 2025 3:30pm - 5:00pm EST

Discover a new and unique way of telling your story through the intersection of movement, story, music, gesture, and words. Bring a real story from your life. Bring an object that either relates to the story or is just something you like. Over the course of each session we will move, we will sing, we will write, and through proposals and assignments from the workshop teachers, each student will create a short solo performance piece.
