Program / Event Details

Civic Body builds stronger communities by putting people into action together. Through movement, rhythm, play, improvisation, and ensemble practice, participants develop self-efficacy, communication, trust, focus, and a sense of belonging—not by talking about these qualities, but by experiencing and practicing them together. The result is a more connected, confident, and collaborative group, with particular power in classroom and educational settings.

Civic Body is a flexible movement and performance workshop and residency that uses the arts to strengthen both individual agency and collective capacity. Participants move, create, problem-solve, take risks, listen, lead, and respond to one another while developing physical awareness, creative confidence, and the ability to contribute to an ensemble.

Programs adapt for K–12 classrooms, educator professional development, community groups, colleges, arts organizations, and cultural institutions. Civic Body can function as a single workshop, a multi-session program, or a deeper residency incorporating curriculum connections, educator training, community engagement, and culminating performances or presentations.

At its core, Civic Body asks a simple question: What becomes possible when people learn to trust their own bodies, their own ideas, and the people around them?

Yes. For an Arts Everyday directory listing, I’d make the fee schedule clear but flexible enough to accommodate schools, PD, community groups, and residencies.
