Before that she'd been a ballet dancer, sang folk songs and wrote poems and stories of unrequited love. Dada Police, her own creation, provided avenues for written, visual and performance work. Epiphanies are the shining moments that create the constellations that guide me on the way. Workshop attendees will be encouraged to explore the difference between mastering formal technique and rejecting form and technique to respond to the moment. They will be challenged to consider the relationship of technique to inspiration and art.
Presentations are free and open to the public.
