Expressive Arts Workshop

[Guest guest]

Dear NYCCAT Friends,

Have unspoken poems been filling your soul throughout the winter

months? Is there a song in your heart that longs to blossom into full

voice? For me, I am finding that my body wants to move with quiet

presence, as if I were listening to a daffodil push into full bloom.

While Spring can be a time of celebrating the early morning moments

when flowers have suddenly burst open, Spring can also hold the mystery

of slowly changing beauty in the dark night.

As Spring buds here in New York City and I anticipate both glorious

dawns and enchanted midnights, I am also excited to be planting seeds

of creativity in the Studio for new growth. To usher in Springtime, I

invite you to listen to your own blossoming spirit in the upcoming

introductory workshop, Awakening the Creative Spirit: An Exploration of

the Expressive Arts.

If you are curious about the expressive arts and would like to

experience this work, please join us on May 4 as we dance, sing and

find sustaining images to carry us into the heat of summer. Whether you

want to become more rooted in a deeper course of study in the

expressive arts, would like to cultivate a personal exploration of

artistic play or are simply seeking to water your own seeds of

creativity, I hope you will join us as we open the door to the beauty

of Spring!

Spring is a time of awakening passions, especially creative ones. If

the winter months have tied your tongue or frozen your fingers, now is

the time to thaw your spirit with the flames of poetry, art, dance and

song.

If you are curious about the expressive arts, this workshop is the

perfect place to feed your imagination. In this unique work, you will

explore the relationship between the various artistic disciplines and

begin to blossom into the deep wisdom that this intermodal approach

offers.

The aim of expressive arts is to free your inherent capacity to

create.  Dancing, singing, storytelling, drawing and acting are natural

human activities in which we all are able to participate. As children

we freely used our senses to be playful, however, as we grew older, the

permission to play was often lost. Expressive arts offers a way to

recover the creative voice and bring the richness of the arts to life

again.

In a deeply respectful and affirming space, this workshop focuses on

unearthing imaginative play without judgment or constraint. Open to

all, regardless of artistic experience, our aim will be to open the

possibility of springing into life with new songs, regenerating images

of hope and touching our deepest affirmation in the presence of beauty.

Please join us!
