Vagus Nerve & Physical Theatre Workshop
A fundraising workshop in support of Arches Lane Theatre

 

This session will explore the vagus nerve, breath, movement, sound, body awareness and physical theatre, creating an accessible and welcoming space for participants to reconnect with their bodies through creative practice.

It's an integrated experience to discover the powerful connection betweenyour nervous system and your physical presence. You will explore movement and physical theatre to gently activate and soothe your vagus nerve, cultivating deep self-awareness and releasing stored physical and emotional tension.
