🌟WORKSHOP ONE:
Moving in Space with Ross Flores
DESCRIPTION: Move into your scene work with a sense of confidence and creativity! Do you ever want more movement options to add to your scenes? Do you want to feel a bit more physically centered while on stage? Do you occasionally bump into people on stage and then whisper "oops, sorry" to the people? This workshop is for you! In a welcoming and easygoing setting, we will explore qualities of movement, spatial awareness, and finding your center. All with the goal to help bring your character to life and ease your body while on stage. Dance experience is not needed/required for this workshop - all are invited to join! Please dress in comfortable clothing for moving!
