Workshops & Community Experiences   

Join us, along with Dr. Rosemarie Dombrowski and Dr. Susie Bendix for this two-session interactive course, we'll explore the connections between physical movement and generative writing, as well as the healing power of both. We'll also use movement as a portal to deeper self-discovery and expression, generating poetry (and/or short narrative) in the process.

Join Arizona Broadway Theater’s Director of Education, Stephen Hohendorf, for a lecture class exploring the magic behind "Cats," one of the most iconic musicals in theatre history. Based on the whimsical poetry of T. S. Eliot, "Cats" transports audiences into the mysterious world of the Jellicle cats during the night of the Jellicle Ball, where each cat shares their story through dynamic dance, acrobatics, and unforgettable music while hoping to be chosen for a journey to the Heaviside Layer and a new life. In this engaging session, participants will learn about the history and lore of the show, explore ABT’s unique makeup design process, and even create their own original cat character makeup. Featuring Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary score—including the beloved song “Memory”—this class offers a behind-the-scenes look at the theatrical artistry that has captivated audiences worldwide for decades. This class includes the matinee showing of "Cats" and lunch on Sunday, June 28. *Excludes meal upgrades, alcoholic beverages, and dessert.

Organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and the Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz Collection, Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan celebrates the originality and virtuosity of 36 women artists who have explored sculptural expression outside the traditionally male-dominated field of Japanese studio ceramics. The exhibition’s 40 avant-garde works featuring motifs of flora, geology, human anatomy, and fantastical abstract forms illuminate the technical achievements and creativity of leading women ceramicists from post-World War II Japan. Led by Phoenix Art Museum Docents, join us as we explore these themes and more through a lecture-style presentation and in-gallery exploration.

Note: Classes 023 & 024 are the same class.
