Workshops
This year, we are bringing back a selection of free workshops by our projects’ lead artists. Participating in a workshop is optional and welcomes any current participant or guest to join in an artist-led session and try out one of the following art disciplines:
| Improv Theatre with Jeff Gladstone
Using paired and group exercises, explore the basic ideas of improv theatre. Jump in, participate and have some fun! No experience required. |
| Oil Pastel Image Transfer with Keely O’Brien
Try out a fun printmaking technique called oil pastel image transfer. Work with fellow participants to make an artwork together. No experience necessary. |
| Story Jam with Jim Sands & Kevin Li
Are you ready for something different? This experimental workshop will provide a fun and experiential introduction to the world of storytelling. Through a series of exercises we’ll learn what makes a good story and how to develop your story idea. Everybody is welcome. |
To all Arts & Health participants and other guests, workshop registration will be available during lunch on the day of the showcase. For more information: info@artsandhealth.ca
