In this master class participants will have the opportunity to experience an introduction to the Life/Art Process. An approach that innovated new paradigms in movement/dance, creative process, design thinking, multidisciplinary art, performance and community ritual, the Halprin work broke ground in the early 1960’s, influencing multiple interdisciplinary fields.
Movement, drawing, poetic narrative and performative acts of exchange will be the guides in an exploration of the sensing, feeling, imagining body and the power of embodied creativity.
Come prepared with drawing materials: 14×18 newsprint paper and a box of oil pastels
