Soto Workshop Melbourne Monday 14th March
MOVING FROM THE INSIDE
A Performance Lab with Hoffman Soto
“Creativity goes to the very core of what it means to be human and when we are involved in the
creative process we are anchoring ourselves in humanity” Soto
This three day movement based workshop is for those who have a desire to improvise, express and create
with others. Soto will guide us in movement awareness practices that will deepen our connection to our
bodies. Anchored in our physicality, we will use movement, sound, spoken word, drawing and creative
writing to give form to our personal stories and myths. Working together in this way will provide an
opportunity to gain personal insight and develop ourselves as artists and human beings. The workshop is
open to all, with or without previous movement/art experience.
