Core + Restore
with
Heather Gunn-Rivera
This class will help you access your deepest core muscles through mindful breathing and restorative stretches. As performers we know the value of a supported breath, but the breath can only be properly supported with a strong core. The ability to call upon all aspects of our core helps us stand strong, support properly, and move efficiently.
Be ready to move with Heather as she guides us through this restorative session.
The Impact of Live Theatre
with
Join Tameishia Peterson and Lauren Annunziata as they outline the cultural impact of live performance on New York City and what transformations post-pandemic could make the theatre a more welcoming place.
