Act Natural: Rediscover the Play in Life
Also With Sarah Lucht
June 19 - 22, 2025
Acting on stage requires the ability to call on different aspects of one’s personality and emotional life to tell the story with truth and clarity. This is something we all do in life: We play roles, put on different hats, and behave in specific ways in order to achieve our goals. You will learn to better identify and implement your creative and problem-solving resources in an environment of connection, collaboration, and community – with an emphasis on spontaneity and fun.
