Bridge to Terabithia: A Somatic Exploration of Childhood Self

with Mark LeRoy

Thursday, May 7, 2-4 pm

ImprovLab (MCKN 108)
University of Guelph

In this creative, interactive workshop, we will explore parts of the story as we embody parts of our subversive and childhood selves, through sensation, image, behaviour, affect, and meaning.

We’ll have more details coming soon. Please make sure to check back!

Who: We invite everyone who is interested in participating to join the creative workshops. We aim to make these events as accessible as possible, and they are open to everyone regardless of age, ability, ethnicity, religion, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, political beliefs, or status. Folks with children are also welcome to bring them along and their participation will not be part of the study.

To confirm participation and/or for more information, including about consent forms, please email sharon.engbrecht@uoguelph.ca.

If you decide to join us spontaneously, please do. Doors will be open 30 minutes before each event. There will be coffee, tea, and light snacks provided.

Mr. Mark LeRoy (he/him) is a PhD Student in the Critical Studies in Improvisation program at the University of Guelph. He is also a Registered Social Worker (MSW, MA, SEP), and his practice is guided by attunement and awe for the beauty of the human condition. In artistic and collectivistic collaborations, he attempts to allow space and time for the unimagined, unthought, and unspoken in the hope that we may become witnesses to stories no longer lost in time or veiled by shame but voiced by aesthetic compassion and grace.

Dr. Sharon Engbrecht (they/them) comes from a background in theatre and visual arts, narrative theory, and critical studies in gender and sexuality. They have a knack for event planning and facilitating group events focused on storytelling and improvisation. Their research investigates questions of embodiment, identity, and relationality.
