Were are very excited for Kaeridwyn Eftelya's upcoming workshop here at the CSA! ✨

Kaeridwyn is a Canadian theatremaker/performer, puppeteer, clown, and musician, who recently settled in Stroud. The workshop will explore embodied theatre practice, approaching theatre through collective movement, sound and gesture. The work draws on training and experience in Grotowski-based laboratory theatre, corporeal mime, and clown, amongst other things. It is not just for performers - it's a joyful and holistic practice of connecting to each other in creativity 😀

When you meet: The workshop is Sept 13 from 10-1.
With the potential for a more regular series.

It is suitable for all adults! Performers, non-performers, experienced or otherwise.
