Movement and Healing – Workshops Ahead!

Movement is the song of the body.

Neal Skoy – Improvisation Actor – Workshop Presenter

Neal’s background is in physical comedy and clowning — the roots of which, in practice, emphasize Optimism, Play, Vulnerability, Observational Skills, and Emotional Intelligence. The workshop will delve into the importance of each of these elements and sharpening our personal senses of humor in the face of adversity and absurdity. Neal’s inspirations include: Brene Brown, Laurel & Hardy, Dr. Patch Adams, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Robin Williams, and Slava Polunin. Neal’s website can be found here.

National Developmental Disability Awareness Month

National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (D.D.A.M.), observed throughout March, is a nationwide event to raise awareness about the inclusion of people with developmental disabilities and address the barriers that those with disabilities face. Inclusion is necessary since about 15% of the world’s population lives with a disability. D.D.A.M. is about understanding the relationship between the way people function and how they participate in society and making sure everybody has the same opportunities in every aspect of life to the best of their abilities.
