This interactive, interdisciplinary workshop blends creative writing and creative movement, offering participants of all levels a space to explore personal and environmental narratives and shared experience. No previous writing or dance experience is required. Working both solo and collaboratively, participants will co-create and translate short dance and written pieces, discovering how movement and language can shape and inform one another. The workshop culminates in a brief sharing and reflection session, where participants present their creations and discuss their process. These reflective moments celebrate our individual and collective relationships with the Arboretum, and the community built in our short time together.
