About RES 26: Making Things to Make Something Else

A workshop for curious movers.

Join choreographer, director, and movement artist Ben Wright for a playful, probing, and generously led workshop exploring the layers of creative process. Together, you’ll dive into the messy and surprising space between intention and effect — playing in the unknown as fuel for creation, where dances, feelings, questions (and more questions) begin to move.

This workshop invites you to lean into process over product — making things, to make something else.

Come with questions. Leave with more.
