Civic Ensemble and the Community School of Music and Arts is thrilled to be launching its new partnership, The Beloved Artistic Community Meet Up! 

 

The BAC Meet Up provides free artistic workshops to community members ages 18 and up. Each month a guest artist offers a performative or expressive arts workshop to expand the artistic skills and practices of our local community. We work to cultivate a space where growth in artistry and skills is centered, one that is accessible no matter your level of artistry. No experience necessary to join, only an openness to exploring something new in the community.

 

We hope this can be a space for folks to expand their artistic tool kit and continue fostering the notion that theatre, expression and creation is everyone’s birthright. 

UP NEXT: Physical Comedy: The Art of Oops!

Sometimes, does everything just seem to go wrong for you? Do you ever feel embarrassed when you trip on your shoelace, struggle to parallel park, your shopping bag bursts open, or you arrive at work/home/therapy and realise you forgot to wear any pants?

 

Congratulations! You are human! Come and celebrate the art of oops!: make failure your friend, and explore why we laugh at the suffering of others. Part clowning, part movement, part playful exploration… this physical comedy workshop is open to everyone as an opportunity to play and laugh and to celebrate our moments of failure. A lot. 

 

Robin Guiver is an actor, physical performer and the newest Assistant Professor of theatre performance at Ithaca College. Originally trained in Lecoq based actor created theatre, he has spent a two decade long career in film and theatre, of many many failures, and the odd success.
