Balancing Mind and Body: The Secrets of Posture and Movement
Racoco Productions company member Masumi Kishimoto leads a workshop in moving consciously and joyfully through everyday actions as a result of understanding and respecting the postures your body inherently knows.
Allow you to introduce yourself: Action Theater Improvisation
Come meet more of yourself in this introduction to Action Theater improvisation with Rachel Cohen, director of Racoco Productions. Through simple, fun exercises playing with movement, sound, and language, participants explore living in their bodies as well as their minds, mining and reveling in the multidimensional nature of being a human.
