All are welcome!Featured artist: Joey KippIn this Creative and engagement workshop, we will be getting to know our theaters, the space we are in (Judson) as well as our own. We will explore the space from a new perspective. We will do a series of vocal and movement improvisations and scores to amplify each other’s voices and bodies. How does the space inform us? How do we inform it? How can we dismantle/amplify that? How can we inform and celebrate each other while celebrating ourselves? NEXT!
