"Humankind has managed to work together positively throughout the millennia to survive and progress. How? By the stories we tell." ~ Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens author
To unmask is to reveal our stories: the ones we hide, and the ones we always tell until they become our presentation to the world. Our stories change through the lens of time. To know, mine and revise our stories is maturity in action. Sharing stories in the good company of others is to be true to yourself and to let yourself be known.
Unmasking is for anyone who believes they are not an artist, and everyone who knows they are. Together we'll ride the untamed river of our creative juices and let its wild current carry us. We'll dance outside the box, draw outside the lines, pursue imperfection, and listen to the whisper of words on page.
We'll dance with abandon, take dictation from our bodies, make colourful messes and marvel at the art taking shape in and through our hands.
Stop waiting for a creative moment and realize that you are one. Remember, it doesn't matter how badly you dance, sing, scribble, or paint, as long as you don't do it badly like anyone else.
Kathy and Lori have spent decades honing the craft of weaving visual art, writing and theatre with dance. They are assisted in this workshop by Joseph Machado.
