Release with Movement & Theatre by Preeti Agarwal Mehta

About the Workshop

Release with Movement & Theatre is an expressive, playful, body-based workshop that helps you gently let go, reset, reconnect, and rediscover the freedom of movement and theatre.

This is not a performance class.

This is a space to breathe, soften, play, and reconnect with the joy of being seen and understood.

You need zero dance or acting experience.

Just curiosity.
