A few spaces remain for six Tuesday evenings of play, presence, connection, pleasure, failure and the unexpected.
Through games and playful physical exploration, we’ll work with presence, listening, impulse and play—becoming more available to what is actually happening, and finding greater freedom and aliveness in the work.
We play. We fail. We get stuck… and something else can appear. Very often, it’s astonishingly funny.
Series Two stands on its own—you don’t need to have taken Series One to join.
Dates: Tuesdays, November 3–December 8, 2026
Time: 6–9 PM
Location: The Practice Room, Toronto
Fee: $400 + HST
20% discount for students, union members and returning participants.
On our final evening, December 8, participants from both fall series will come together for a shared gathering.
