In this improvisation-based class, Sarah Aviaja Hammeken bridges the physical and emotional realms.

Through guided improvisation, participants delve into the physicality of emotions, transforming intangible feelings into tangible expressions. This is a space to honor your individuality while sharing a collective experience.
