Don't sweat the small stuff in this health- and time-conscious cooking class. Over the course of a single evening, begin by roasting a delicious chicken-and-potatoes meal. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE (so much more)! After creating one dish, "Yes, Chef!" your way to a plethora of reinventions and remixes to bring you a week's worth of healthy and scrumptious meals from that humble beginning! Soups, salads, tacos, fried rice, and more. Cooking is a gift, and with this class, it's a gift that just keeps on giving.
Dive into an immersive experience via grounding the body through art, sound, meditation, and more. The flow of this workshop provides focus and calm to the participants, so they walk away with tangible techniques to better their mental health. The program is circular: breath (meditation), mandala-making (art), then group reflection on the process of making the art and its emotional effects. Jeanne Marie will then lead her sound session, and another art-making experience will stem from the effects of the sound on participants, followed by a group discussion and closing breath.

This dance class about our relationship to the floor invites all levels of experience and is geared toward people who are curious to discover deeper connection and relationship to their bodies in dynamic motion. Learn how to use the support of the floor to your advantage, explore how your anatomy (particularly soft tissue and joints) can support finding easeful pathways into and out of the floor movement, and discover patterns useful for changing levels and falling. The class will be structured with a guided somatic warmup, improvisational exploration based on prompts, and simple movement motifs across the floor. Messing up is encouraged—it’s how we learn!

Two art forms COLLIDE for Baltimore City school students! Taking place on the Baltimore City Public Schools professional development days, these camps are chock-full of SPECTACULAR arts for students in grades 3-8. Join School of Magic Arts, one of the only 365 day-a-year stage magic schools in the world, for a half-day Build Your Own Magic Camp! That’s right, we’re back at Creative Alliance after our incredible Card Camp in October and mind-blowing Mental Magic in January. This time around, we’ll be building (and learning to perform) one of the coolest stage illusions ever: a Stratosphere! Colored balls appear to change places inside of a tube right before the audience’s eyes. Students will be able to take home the prop that they build during the session.
For the other half of the day, we have the joy of working alongside craft extraordinaire and camp maestro Jesse Lentzwiler to build tiny worlds that stem from imagination and observation! With these dioramic explorations, we study the textures, atmosphere, and composition of spaces, and how miniature creations can capture and reveal the wonder of the world around us!

The word “immersive” has gained a lot of traction in the last ten years and has been used to describe everything from theme parks to shopping experiences. In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to the term as it relates to the performing arts. In the first part of the workshop, we’ll discuss the basic building blocks of immersive shows and cover some of the groundbreaking productions that led to the rise in popularity of the style. Then, we’ll share examples of some of our own productions and talk about the methods we use to imagine and build stories, characters, and whole worlds. The second part of the workshop will be on our feet, participating in group exercises, improvisations and games—the tools we rely on at the beginning of our process, no matter what the subject matter of the show.
