Question 1

Do I have to be a dancer or have some kind of movement training to do this workshop?

Accepted Answer

No. A general level of fitness, mobility, and an openness to movement is helpful to have, but the workshops are designed to accommodate a broad range of abilities. The most important thing is that you’re able to listen to your body and respect your own limitations.

Question 2

Are you going to make me talk about my fears a in front of a group of strangers?

Accepted Answer

Not at all!  We deeply value your privacy and your agency--both of those things are pivotal to this work.  The beauty of working with a symbolic object like a mask is that you can have a very powerful experience even without sharing details that may be difficult to reveal in front of others.

Question 3

Is the workshop basically group therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. We are not trained therapists - we are artists. Our goal is to provide a structured environment for creative expression. The workshops are designed to give you a very personal experience. Most of the work is non-verbal - you can share as much or as little as you want.

Question 4

What should I bring with me?

Accepted Answer

A journal, a water bottle, a writing utensil, and comfortable clothes you can move in. Most workshops include a short lunch break, so snacks or a small meal are recommended.

We provide all crafting tools,  materials, and supplies.
