April 15, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Instructors: Fred Sugerman
Sponsored by: UCLArts & Healing

Max 50, Ages 16 +

Improvisational movement, guided by a facilitator and supported by music, stimulates creativity, self-expression, and authentic connection to others. This meditative practice softens self-judgement, restores vitality and promotes well-being. It is for all levels of movers, including even those who identify themselves as self-conscious or shy.
