"Improvising a Life" is about how saying “yes, and” shaped Michele Dunleavy’s artistic journey and defined her career. For the last 20 years, improvisation has played a central role in her creative processes. Michele will draw on her experiences as an educator, choreographer and performer to illustrate how she uses improvisation in her work. This event includes live and recorded performance, storytelling, and the potential for audience participation!
