Drama Class: Let Go (of Control)
About the event
Drama Class: Let Go *(And learn when not to)*
Want to see what happens once you drop your familiar body language, thinking, and character patterns — and discover the part of you that's been hidden behind the mundane? When we don't trust the world, our mind, or our body, we micromanage everything — scanning for danger, over-analyzing. It's how the mind keeps us safe. But when we learn to let go, we embrace play, creativity, discovery — we start seeing beauty in strangers, in danger, in failure. We learn to hold both pleasure and pain, and move on lightly. Through play, we'll identify the patterns — physical, emotional, relational, and character — we default to, and try letting them go: a different weight, gesture, way of seeing. Why? To discover a bigger, more authentic you. But letting go isn't the same as letting everything slide. Some patterns protect something real — part of this work is learning the difference. Courage, vulnerability, openness, and trust carry us on this journey.
Come out of this class with:
• A deeper connection with yourself, and more acceptance of yourself and others • The experience of rehearsing what it means to let go of roles and patterns • A clearer view of what's happening in your relationships • The discernment to know what's worth holding onto, and what's ready to go • The felt experience of acting from love & curiosity instead of fear • A circle of trust — people who saw you try
We get there through play: spontaneous scene work, real acting drawn from our own feelings, objects, and scenes. We reflect, come together, and close by honoring something real that moved through the class — practicing witnessing, empathy, deep listening, embodiment, and courageous action along the way.
No acting experience needed. Just show up.

*"The sooner we let go of holding on, the sooner we can hold on to the beauty of what's unfolding before us. Nothing was ever meant to stay the same forever."* — Julieanne O'Connor
