Wear, move and create in somatic costumes that generate specific body-mind experiences.
Balloon Spines, Feather-Fingers, Heart-Protectors and more, will heighten kinesthetic awareness, fuel creativity and imagination into subtle and wild improvisations—culminating in an optional performance showing on Sunday, March 17th.
Participants may take either the Saturday workshop only, or participate in the workshop and performance-making process (Sat- Sun, Mar 9-10) to include receiving studio time during the week of the festival to develop their performance, as well as artistic feedback from Sally Dean.
