THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24

7:00 Icebreaker workshop with Judith Marcuse.

Action for Insight

Judith Marcuse leads a hands-on workshop designed to provide experience of some of the ideas and methods she uses in her work in Canada and abroad. Using games, exercises, image-making, movement and dialogue, participants will be able to explore their creative impulses in an energizing and interactive process.  No theatre or dance experience is needed.  Just wear comfy clothing  and be prepared for laughter and, perhaps, new insights.
