The PanNYC workshop - now in its fourth year - is a master class in Pantheatre's artistic research and training methods, which focus on mythology and archetypal psychology. PanNYC is aimed for artists and teachers from all the performing fields such as theater, voice, dance, and circus as well as scholars and therapists. Some of the highlights of the PanNYC workshop include IMPACT, a five part Laboratory Tribute to American psychologist James Hillman directed by Enrique Pardo, and weekend intensives with Wise (in Voice Performance) and Pardo (in choreographic theatre).
