Day 1 of @raggedwingensemble Fierce School of Play Body Intensive week long workshop. This is the first of this type of workshop I’ve done and it really pushes and reminds theater makers, performance artists, and visual artists to reconnect with their bodies. To listen and be in tune with yourself physically while connecting with others who are also rediscovering/ discovering their bodies and what our bodies are telling us. It also reconnects the idea of art being collaborative and using different forms of art to create not just limited to one craft that you feel you’re a professional in and to learn from others and their strengths. When working in a group you work as one while simultaneously as an individual knowing what you need and others is the most important thing I’ve learned today. I was also surprised and thankful of the group and the way this first workshop was structured calmed my anxiety to let me just play and not get stuck in my head like I do when I’m doing new things like this. I’m so excited to continue tomorrow and see what else comes. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 #fierceschoolofplay #raggedwingensemble #bodyintensive #theaterworkshop #gettingintunewithmybody #physicalhealth #mentalhealth #anxiety #theater #healingthroughmovement #healingthroughart #bayareaartists #bayareaart #oaklandtheater #bayareatheater #queer #genderfluid (at Oakstop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs4r1zHBvpx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nvqbd2fpcz10
