Led by Acadia Barrengos
How many versions of ourselves live within us? How can we find access to them? Whether for theatrical practice, or a deepening of self-awareness, this workshop will explore myriad ways to physically access character and relationship by exploring beginning principles of viewpoints and flocking. We will work as a group, opening the body to meet ourselves and then play with the characters that arise from us.

Body Wash at Zone 3
I invited five artists from across New England to guide participants of all experience levels through exploratory performance art workshops. Together, we moved through questions around wayfinding, technology, and embodied storytelling in order to discover more expansive ways of being. Tap into the sensational. Let it wash over you.
Here is a video from the series.
Surface Tension
Sunday, May 28, 2023, 12pm
Led by Katherine Mitchell Di Rico
How do screens perform as a site of negotiation between the body, the material, and the virtual? What is real, and what is apparent, and how might the body move through space and time at that threshold- to question our notions of reality? During this one-hour performance workshop, participants will generate work using their personal devices, their bodies, and props brought by the workshop facilitator to engage these questions.

Dancing with Images
Sunday, June 18, 2023, 1pm
Led by Phoebe Hiltermann and Livia Chesley
How do we come to a state of receptivity, allowing our bodies to be an open channel for our creativity, and a physical extension of our imagination? Through movement and object work, participants will engage with personal symbols and image-making in order to discover a pre- language practice of storytelling.
Map Dancing: Cartographic Movement Workshop
Monday, June 26, 2023, 1pm
Led by Kelly Chen
The Map of the city is not the City. The Map is a performative regime that produces space, a tool that restricts desire, and an apparatus that governs bodies. How do we engage with the City in ways that don’t reiterate the spatial logics of the Map? What choreography governs everyday life? How do we imagine maps that are temporary, borderless, and what we need in the moment?
Map Dancing is an outdoor movement workshop where participants alter and destroy physical maps and then interpret them as movement scores. Participants will move through a series of engagements with map objects, and lead the group through interpreting their scores. In this workshop, participants will engage with urban questions through movement.
