Embodied Play: Focusing and Improv

Saturday, December 19, 2020
An Online Class Facilitated by Amy "Taj" Baker

Part of The Focusing Highlights Series


Like Focusing, play is a way to discover our true selves, and connect with others in unexpected ways. In this webinar, we will explore what the intersection of mindful embodied attention and an improvisational attitude might look and feel like. We will blend Focusing with games and exercises adapted from the world of theatrical improvisation. Small group demonstrations will help illustrate this cross-pollination.
