About the workshop:
Join Empress Eyrie for a watch party of a pre-recorded, one-off workshop on how to improve your hand “dancing” for performance. Hands can be very powerful tools for a performer on stage and can be one of the first things to lapse when nervous. This workshop teaches you tips and tricks for soft and pretty hands as well as addresses the power of good hands in performing. This workshop is a low-movement workshop with a focus on hand and wrist movement and can be done seated.
Notes:
The video has closed captioning available.
