This two hour workshop (attend one, two, or all three), will be led by former Kitchen Theater Director and longtime theater professor at Ithaca College, Norm Johnson, Jr., along with Hospicare’s Laura Ward and Emily Hopkins. The workshop will use writing prompts, discussion, and writing time to explore personal memory, experience, emotion, imagery, and thoughts about death, dying and bereavement.
Material developed during the workshops may, if the writer agrees, be incorporated into a devised theatrical production about grief to be performed at the Hangar Theater on November 7th. Participants can expect a deep, interactive experience overseen by Manager of Psychosocial Services, Laura Ward, LMFT, FT.
Registration is required 48 hours prior to the first session you will be attending, and there is no cost.
