Picture Yourself Performing

"Perhaps the idea of connecting with an audience is daunting to you. Maybe you consider yourself a “non-performer” and you try to avoid the activity because the idea of giving a “performance” makes you feel uncomfortable.

Would you like to know how to perform without trying? 

In this supportive, immersive five-part workshop, led by artist Ricky Katowicz, we will play together. There will be painless exercises and fun surprises. We will be economical with our use of materials and time, tap into our real human emotions, and focus on relationships to ourselves, our surroundings, and each other. 

This workshop is ideal for artists, designers, and others 18+ yrs of age.The first three sessions will be held over Zoom. We will share our experiences in two in-person sessions held at the museum, giving everyone a chance to grow and show a durational performance piece.Free to RISD Museum artist members and museum members, $50 for non-members. Information about signing up for a FREE RI artist membership can be found under the Access Membership Options in this link.
