Performing in Everyday Life

Please RSVP to get the Zoom link.

Join UHeights Theatre Alliance member, Filament: A Collab Lab for their Spring Workshop - Performing in Everyday Life.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

What does the word PERFORM mean? By identifying what we already do well as communicators and applying that embodied knowledge to our most challenging communication tasks, we can overcome our performance anxiety and mitigate imposter syndrome. This workshop draws on performance studies and performance practice to shift the definition of performance and consider what you do with your mind, body, and voice to perform everyday tasks and make things happen!

She just completed her two-year term on the Humanities Washington Speaker's Bureau where she shared her talk "Always On: How to Turn Up the Volume on Everyday Communication" with audiences throughout the state. Monica is completing a PhD in Drama and a Certificate in Public Scholarship at the University of Washington (UW).
