Students will use their imaginations to orient their bodies in time and space, develop rhythm and coordination, and transform into otherworldly creatures. Freedom of expression and improvisation will be encouraged and further developed through art projects that build costumes, sculptures, and drawings (using recycled materials). The workshop will culminate in an interactive lecture demonstration as the kids lead the audience through their worlds of transformation.
