May 14, 3:30-4:30 Theater Workshop for Wellness:
Step into the spotlight and embrace your brilliance! Theater Workshop for Wellness is a theatre workshop designed specifically for Queer BIPOC folks to explore confidence, creativity, and self-expression through playful performance. This workshop offers a supportive and affirming space where participants can let loose, tell their stories, and celebrate their identities through movement, improvisation, and character-building. If you're an experienced performer or brand new to theatre, this workshop is all about fun, laughter, and stepping into your power!
Workshop Breakdown:
Welcome & Warm-up (10 minutes)
Name & Gesture Game: Each participant says their name with a dramatic or silly gesture. The group repeats it back.
Confidence Through Characters (20 minutes)
“The Most Dramatic Thing”: In pairs, one person tells a mundane story (e.g., "I made a sandwich"), and the other acts it out as dramatically as possible. Then switch!
Improvisation & Play (20 minutes, pick 1)
Yes, And!: Classic improv exercise where partners build on each other's ideas to create ridiculous, exaggerated stories.
Magic Mirror: In pairs, one person moves, and the other mimics exactly, slowly turning into an expressive dance battle.
Role Reversal Scenes: Participants act out everyday situations but swap expected roles (e.g., "A teacher begging a student for homework").
Closing Reflection & Dance Party (10 minutes)
A quick circle share: "What was your favorite moment today?"
Free movement dance party with music to celebrate confidence, silliness, and community!
