Workshops, Intensives, and Master Classes
Let Them Play! A practical and physical workshop for performers led by Jon Ferguson, co-creator of PARADISE.
Sunday, February 8
10:00-11:30am
Free!
A dynamic exploration of play (and playfulness), imagination, and collective creation. Through physical games, exercises, and shared tasks, we’ll awaken (or reawaken) personal and group creativity and discover what happens when we stop trying to be interesting and start engaging with what’s truly present, truly happening. This workshop is not about technique or perfection – it’s about aliveness. The session invites curiosity, mischief, connection, and genuine discovery, reminding us that the most inventive work often begins with simple, shared play. Expect an invigorating, practical experience that recharges the performer’s sense of playfulness and joy in the moment.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
