Making Space

What happens when you let curiosity lead instead of having a clear goal? Join Leisa Shelton for six weeks of physical exercises, movement, spatial exploration and group practice designed to help you become more responsive — to yourself, to others, and to the space around you. You’ll explore: • Making space for what might emerge • Listening with the whole body • Trusting your creative ideas will evolve No experience necessary. Just bring curiosity and an openness to try things out. For students interested in theatre, performance, movement, dance, visual arts, writing, creative arts therapy, music or community practice — or anyone curious to explore their creative practice with others. Come practice. Come play. Come without a goal.
