Joanna Harmon and Eva Schulte to Lead Impulse Training Workshop

IMPULSE TRAINING THROUGH PLAYFUL MOVEMENT with Joanna Harmon and Eve Schulte

February 25th & 26th

Heighten the sense to your own impulses through playful movement. Learn to honor your instincts--for performance, for improvisatory practice, and for daily life.

Open to individuals of all experience levels. We believe the diversity with a group supports exponential growth of each of the participants.

Day One: The Individual

Practice feeling, acknowledging, trusting, and acting on your internal, individual impulses. Develop your ability to listen and manifest your needs, wants, and desires through movement. Day One will focus on the individual--how can you, personally, practice taking necessary action in the moment?

February 25th, 10am-1pm
$60 alone / $100 for Day One & Two

Day Two: The Group

Practice being with and responding to the bodies and impulses around you while acknowledging your own instincts. Day Two participants will work towards developing a "group mind," working on listening and relating to others while still honoring the individual.

February 26th, 5:30-8:30pm
$60 alone / $100 for Day One & Two
