AudioBody
Save the date! Details to come.
Combining movement with audio, this workshop will use the improv vocabulary called the “Viewpoints” as a portal to discover greater authenticity and self-confidence, and will create a safe and supportive space for you to bravely take risks.
Through ensemble theater exercises, journaling, improvisational singing, and composition tasks, we’ll rewire neural pathways to bring us greater joy by staying present.
No experience is necessary, and all experience levels are welcome and encouraged.
Please note this is a movement experience for all bodies. Please let us know your access needs when you register.
Bring a water bottle, a snack, and dress comfortably
