What has you hesitating around your handstand practice? Fear of falling? This workshop will provide the foundational tools to build a strong, safe handstand practice.

Farrell will lead this workshop and will cover:
1. Kicking up in efficient, stable ways.
2. Using the wall for strengthening.
3. Wrist and shoulder care.
4. Identifying common obstacles and how to remedy them.
5. How to build handstands into your life.

This is an ALL-LEVELS workshop. The only requirement is the dream to do a handstand. Farrell will meet you where you are on your handstand journey and help you to take the next steps forward. Though handstands are super serious business, the workshop will be fun and playful. Don’t let your dreams be dreams, by this time next year you WILL be handstanding.

THE LOVE TALKER 
By Deborah Pryor

The Love Talker is an eerie and sensual play set in an age when strange spirits walked the earth and magic was all around.

A GHOST STORY 
By John Pielmeier

Two hikers seek shelter from a winter blizzard in an isolated Maine cabin. They meet a mysterious girl and soon the three share ghost stories, at first fanciful and then suddenly disquieting as the imagined becomes the real.

“Metamorphoses” condenses Ovid’s epic and selects the most powerful myths to illustrate the theme of change. The gods, though “not altogether unkind,” exert their influence on the mortal world by dramatically interfering with the lives of humans.
From Midas to Orpheus, and from Alcyone to Baucis, mortals undergo various metamorphoses, or physical changes, which reflect their internal traits. Hubris is punished, while charity and love are rewarded. To stress the timeless nature of these myths, some take place in antiquity, while others have anachronistic references to better tie their stories to today. These myths, however, offer more than just simple morals like the importance of humility and piety. “Metamorphoses” also shows why myths themselves retain importance and relevance.

This fresh adaptation of the film is set in the fictional studio of WVL Radio Theatre, which is struggling to stay on the air one snowy winter’s night. The professional voice actors are unable to get to the studio, but the show must go on—and so a small but intrepid band of employees manages to create the story’s dozens of characters and scenes using just their voices and some everyday household items for sound effects.
