Using theatrical ensemble based practices Returning to Interdependence explores this question while learning from & engaging with the earth’s natural cycles.

Sign up above and there is a sliding scale fee for the classes ($0-15 per class). Don’t let funds keep you from participating!

In each workshop series, one topic from Living System Theory (like feedback loops, fractals, biomimicry, bifurcation points) will be kinesthetically practiced with the ensemble community that collects. Through the workshop the ensemble will practice listening, connecting, and devising with
to remember how interconnected and thus interdependent we actually are!
