Step into the realm of Artivism and Collective Action, a transformative online workshop that combines the power of artistic expression with the drive for social change. We invite participants to explore the intersection of art and activism, creating a catalyst for community-driven action. We will dive into the rich tapestry of activist-artists and share dialogue about the work we do as artists. Engage in thought-provoking discussions, collaborative projects, and hands-on activities that empower you to be an agent of change.

This workshop, The Essentials of Trauma-Informed Creative Practices, is for creatives in the arts and education who are interested in navigating the creation of new work during difficult times.

With an emphasis on educational content, the facilitator will explore the brain science behind stress, burnout, trauma, and creativity. Key discussion points will include: the stress cycle, trauma stewardship, trauma exposure responses, types of creativity, and our autonomic nervous system.

Boundary and closure practices can support performers in all genres in separating “the work” from “the artist”. In this 3 hour workshop we will use lecture, personal reflection, interactive exercises, and group discussions to define and create boundary and closure practices. Each participant will leave with tools and resources to enter and exit the next performance process confidently and safely.
