Beginner-friendly movement workshop with a focus on storytelling and developing your own freestyle
About this Event

Physical storytelling is a beginner-friendly movement workshop series at focused on exploring storytelling through movement and developing your own freestyle. Every third Sunday, we’ll have Physical Storytelling or Group Movement Lab.
Workshop:
In this two-hour beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll start by prompting the imagination to guide us through the inner landscapes of our bodies, letting intuitive movement unfold. From there, we will expand our attention outward, inviting ourselves to be influenced by the space and by each other.Along the way, we’ll practice witnessing—holding space for ourselves and each other with curiosity and care. We’ll take time to notice the patterns and stories that emerge from our instincts, using them as material for playful, collective composition. Relaxed social after :]
Artist:
Ava Maag (they/she), though an incorrigible dabbler in many forms, is especially interested in intimate, movement-based performance that gropes through longing, confusion, and delight, sussing out what’s going on, seeking the magic in the mundane world. Ava prioritizes questions over answers. Improvisation activates her imagination, opens her heart, and points the way to the big Yes. Ava is heavily influenced by Contact Improvisation, Somatics, Modern dance, Clown, and Deep Listening.

What to bring?
