Participants will learn improvisation exercises, voice projection, body movement, and spatial awareness. With specifically designed activities, participants will learn how to use physicality to portray locations, events, or actions.

Students will part take in scene work, warming up their bodies, minds, and voices with theater games, movement for stage and mime. With selective focus on improvisations and group work participants will create short pieces for a final performance.

Moving Mindfully has been designed to flourish creativity and confidence amongst the community and foster a safe space for unfiltered expression.

The program is comfortably paced so participants can get time with the facilitators, with each other as well as some quality time alone. We have curated a mix of indoor and outdoor activities to ensure we can together enjoy the beautiful autumn season in the mountains
