Embodied Resilient Voices​

This is a two-part workshop.
How can creative people make an impact in a rapidly changing world? What makes your voice unique, and how do you want to use it? Are you a follower, encourager, or influencer? In this two-part workshop, we will use movement and spoken word to create a collective expression of resilience.​
