Workshop - 'Rock the Zoom!'- This “movin' & groovin’,” fast-paced participatory workshop will poke and prod, joke and cheer, coach and craft a dynamic (inter)active performance with you using three tales. Jeff Gere’s ‘call & response’ version of ‘Bird with Hurt Wingʻ (Tongue-cut Sparrow) guides and introduces this kinesthetic method. Then two groups will each explore different short tales (in various ways) with time for coaching, comments & sharing- two hours will FLY!
