Yes, With Love Workshop
In this workshop series, students will use the dimensions of the love ethic— care, commitment, trust, responsibility, respect, and knowledge—as starting points for compassionate self reflection and joyful storytelling.
Instructor Ally Kineman applies the philosophy of "love ethic," popularized by Bell Hooks, to the creative practice of improv. You can expect games and exercises focused on creating strong characters and relationships followed by reflection and appreciation. By the end of this workshop, students will be able to reflect on their improv practice and performance with a gratitude oriented growth mindset.
