The inimitable Lanny Harrison returns to Bushel to lead a CHARACTERS IN MOTION workshop. The session will begin with sitting meditation, followed by a physical warm-up, and then proceed to The Snake Dance, a meditation-in-action exercise. Attendees will also explore a theatrical/movement exercise with support of a deck of Lanny’s Character cards. A taste of the workshop here.
This workshop is open to all from every walk of life. The only thing required is an open mind. Individuals of all abilities welcome!
$15–$25 sliding scale with advance registration here; $25 cash or Venmo at the door.
