Back By Popular Demand! Acting Is a Brain Changer
Description

A fifty-minute experiential and activity-based workshop led by Professor Ellen Mareneck in which attendees participate in individual and group sensory and imaginative dramatic exercises to increase social competence. Simple exercises that spark the imagination and the senses (using a prop as something other than it is, moving through the room as if it were filled with jello), and make individuals focus on another person (the mirror game, trying to guess another's emotion from their voice and eyes only) to name but a few. The goal of this workshop is to engender a sense of confidence in a diverse group of participants. Both neurodiverse and neurotypical individuals are led in a safe manner to creatively explore activities that will expand their social interactions by taking them beyond their comfort zone.
