the toolkit: Improv w/ Shanda Bezic
Date: Apr 26 @ 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Location: Sweet Action Theatre (180 Shaw St #106, Toronto, ON M6J 2W5)
“the toolkit” is a workshop series facilitated by Andrew Gaboury & Morgan Joy with support from Red Nose Remedy designed to bring together a community of like-minded artists who use their practices to serve the greater good.
This series is geared towards professionals who use different arts-based techniques to serve and support people and communities facing barriers, accessing healthcare, community care, social services and other supports.
We recognize that sometimes our work can get very siloed so with this initiative we can rally together to learn from industry professionals and to learn from one another, regardless of artistic discipline.
This practice of continued professional development will create a community of support for those who, like us, are eager to learn and find ways to refresh our approaches and to enhance the work we are already doing.
SESSION ONE – IMRPOV w/ SHANDA BEZIC
Join us for our first meeting where Shanda Bezic will guide the group to work on our improvisational skills. Improv is key to effective communication, between you and a client, you and your partner and generally you and the present moment. Accessible to all levels of improvisers, from beginners to those with years of experience!
