Moving from the Heart is a creative movement workshop with Andrea Parson. This workshop is an invitation to connect to the authenticity of your own movement through deep rest, guided improvisation, and creation of movement poetry. 

This workshop grows directly from my own creative practice and centers a ritual I return to as a way of unlocking energy, play, and uninhibited flow. I will share this ritual as an offering—an invitation to reconnect with the authenticity of your own creative movement, or what I call the heart. Together, we
will listen for our individual rhythms while holding collective space for one another to move, explore, and find unique pathways into flow.

Open to all bodies and ages 16 and up. No prior dance or theater experience is necessary.

Moving From the Heart: A facilitated creative journey that includes:

Deep Rest & Guided Visualization

Gentle rest and guided imagery to support connection with imagination and creative impulse.

Guided Play

A supported movement improvisation offering space to move, explore, and follow your own impulses and curiosities through body and voice.

Movement Poetry

Working in pairs or small groups, we’ll create short movement poems drawn from the stories, sensations, and images living in our bodies.

Sharing and Reflection

A shared closing with reflection, tea, and treats.
