Full Body Presence: Deepening Into Your Story
Explore the art of story using your sensory awareness. To have that magical presence when performing your story, your whole body must be present in the here-and-now moment by using sensory awareness. 
This class will do a deep dive into the 3 circles of attention and listening with your whole body, becoming more aware of the subtle changes in daily life beyond
During this class, four people will share a 3-minute selection from their story, and Joshua will share how to do a "drill down" on a specific moment in the story. As we create more depth of entry into your story - you will have a more vivid sense of your character's point of view, thoughts and feelings, and ideal future.
 This Master Class experience will give you unique but specific tools to work within your creative development process for years to come.

 In this class you will experience:
  •  The 3 Circles of Attention and how to use them. 
  •  How you can ground yourself before a performance
  •  Get off the verbal line and tap into the emotional truth of the moment.
  • Increased ability to be present for your work and others

 With Joshua Townsend Thursday, November 17, 2022 @ 11am -1pm PST

 I cannot think of enough superlatives to describe Joshua Townshend-Zellner as a director and a coach. I came to him when I was struggling to find the structure in a memoir that I’d been working on for more than eight years. I’m a six-time published author and have been teaching writing for more than twenty years. So, I am by no means a beginner. But Joshua taught me things about story and storytelling that were invaluable. My year and a half with him provided me with an incredible education—a personalized MFA is the way I like to describe it. The fact that I could learn so much about writing and story at this point in my career was deeply satisfying and exciting, but it wasn’t just the skills Joshua taught me that I value so highly. As a human being, and as a mentor, Joshua shows up fully. His capacity to listen, to understand the complexity of my story and my inner workings, so essential in crafting memoir, is unparalleled. I have worked with many editors in my long career, but Joshua is the only one who truly honored my vision for my story. He never told me what to do, but always helped me figure out what I wanted.

Joshua expanded my range as a performer beyond anything I could have ever imagined. He's a master in his craft as an artist and a teacher. He creates a safe inviting space for one to challenge themselves creatively. His extraordinary knowledge as a teacher comes from his life experience as an actor, director, writer, and Kundalini Yoga Master. These disciplines intersect in his teaching allowing for an experiential workshop that expands the students artistic expression giving them tools not only for the stage but in life.
