What is Breathwork?
Breathwork, or Pranayama, dates back thousands of years and is a form of meditation. Unlike other meditations, utilizing the breath in a rythmic pattern, quiets the mind and opens the heart. Breathwork cleanses the body, mind, and spirit and gives us a direct line to a higher frequency.
Breathwork helps with:
-Creativity + Inspiration
-Moving energy and emotional "build-up" out of the body
-Calms nervous system
-Increases physical energy
-Boosts immune system
-Deepens relaxation
About this workshop:
Tune up your improv skills by applying short-form techniques to your long-form play. Mary began her improv journey by doing short-form musicals, and she credits one of her longest relationships to playing on a short-form house team at Arcade Comedy Theater. Mary leverages those skills to perform and teach in UCB-style long-form improv. In this workshop, participants will play short-form games to enhance initiations and character development to deepen techniques within narrative long-form.

Theatre Ludu will present their original storytelling performance Irvinville alongside environmentally-focused exhibitions at The Peale, Baltimore’s Community Museum. Inspired by the real-life lynching of the circus elephant Mary, Irvinville charts the rise and fall of your average American town succumbing to sinister environmental capitalism. Kevin Duvall and Lucius Robinson play the town’s worth of characters (including Mary!) in a highly-physical mythologizing of our nation’s greatest blunders.
