Looking for a November boost? We've got four events coming up - two virtual, two in-person.
- November 1, 3-5pm Dance as an Embodiment Practice with Natasha Ramlall explores how non-performative dance can serve as a means to deepen our awareness of internal sensations, emotions, and a sense of presence to the extent that participants (a) gain personal insights that support their emotional well-being and/or (b) expand their capacity for embodied connection with their own bodies. Waterloo, ON (in-person)
- November 4, 6-7:30pm Fireside Chat: Classroom Management for P/J/I Drama and Dance - Join us for a casual drop-in to discuss classroom management strategies or any other areas of need you may have as a drama and/or dance teacher.
- November 5, 4:30-5:30pm Exploring Mental Health through Story Drama in the Elementary Classroom with Michelle Gram Giesen - In this interactive workshop, participants are guided through a Story Drama, or immersive storytelling experience, where they dramatize a picture book, using drama, movement, writing, and music exercises to investigate character perspectives and choices, build environments, and explore present themes. This workshop offers step-by-step guidance to successfully implement Story Drama into regular storytelling sessions for groups of all ages. Space is limited! Register today! Toronto, ON (in-person)
