Service Description

“Viewpoints” is a philosophy translated into a technique for building the ensemble and generating creative movement for the stage. By exploring physical expression through the lens of time and space, we will cultivate our “points of awareness” both as individual artists & as a collective. With these tools, we can hyperfocus our artistic magnifying glass on moments within our creative process to deepen connection and enhance physical storytelling or to shake things up and inspire the unthinkable. - Tap into a creative channel to discover and inspire choice - Explore the embodied craft within action, reaction and response - Reconnect with your body & breath and integrate them into your creative compass We will be tapping into our physical and creative endurance through extended physical group exercises AND we will also be taking care of ourselves with lots of water, care and accommodations when desired! To note: -Bare feet are encouraged -Try to avoid wearing large-logo branded or bright clothing -Open to all Facilitator Bio: Abby Leigh Huffstetler (they/them) thrives within the intersections of creative expression & physical storytelling.
