This is not a dance class nor a theatre class. This is a workshop on how to use your body to express meaning in a visual arts context. Your body carries your memories and life experiences – learn to use it as an art medium! All ages and abilities are welcome for these sessions as every human body has something to say. We’ll begin with a brief introduction to the history of the unique and impactful genre of performance art. You’ll then be guided through simple, low-stress exercises to draw out self-expression through body language and gesture. Tess is an encouraging and supportive instructor who has done extensive work with elders and folks living with disability in health care settings, and she brings years of experience as a professional performance artist.

Members: $63.29 + HST, Non-Members: $65 + HST. Sunday.
