hi all,
please consider attending the workshops my friend rachel and i are leading to finish off our independent study. no theater experience is necessary or expected. the workshops are going to be a fun, relaxed exploration of the history of our bodies. feel free to email me with any questions.
thanks,
~julia
ps - what do you think of the flier?
EDIT: i just noticed that you can't really read it on here. i will bring some fliers into class, and here is the text:
We will be holding three workshops to explore issues associated with bodies. We will use techniques based on those of Augusto Boal.
Using storytelling, image-making, and movement we will explore the question:
what is the history of your body? We will think about our relationship to our own body, as well as our relationship with others’ bodies. This is a topic that comes up a lot in intellectual conversations, but we hope to deepen our understanding through creative interaction.
The workshops are open to all Vassar students.
Monday, May 5th
5:30-7:30pm
VCDF 309
Thursday, May 8th
5:30-7:30pm

Wednesday, May 14th
1-3pm
Residential Quad
Each workshop will build on the previous one so attendance at all three is expected, but if you have a specific conflict please let us know. In the final workshop we hope to invite others to participate and engage with us on the topics we have explored in a public setting.
If you’re interested in participating, or just want more information, email
Rachel at ralee@vassar.edu or Julia at jukann@vassar.edu
Thanks – we hope to hear from you soon!
