In this Event:

Wellness With a Little Drama is a lighthearted, interactive workshop that uses improv and drama-based activities to support social and emotional well-being. No acting experience required, just curiosity and a willingness to play.

Through guided games and creative exercises, participants will explore how movement, laughter, storytelling, and shared experience can:

• Strengthen connection with others
• Increase self-awareness and emotional flexibility
• Practice noticing and responding to others
• Build flexibility, curiosity, and emotional intelligence in real time

All activities are adaptable to different comfort and movement levels, and the focus is on participation, not performance.

Participants will also receive take-home versions of the activities, making it easy to use what you learn with family, friends, colleagues, or community groups.

Come ready to move (at your own pace), laugh, connect, and leave feeling lighter than when you arrived.
