Coping Practice for Performers

Vancouver Poetry House | Verses Festival of Words

<p>As performers we are often told to “Leave it all onstage”. Sometimes this propels us into sharing things we are not ready for, or retraumatizations. In this workshop we will have discussions about what we need to take care of ourselves onstage and off. There will be time to share your own best practices, and experiences. Be ready to engage in, or witness; frank discussion, humour as technique, and coping practices for performance.</p><p>Charlie Petch (they/them, he/him) is a disabled/queer/transmasculine multidisciplinary artist who resides in Tkaronto/Toronto.
