Child's Play: Reclaiming Curiosity, Wonder, and Joy (Ticket Required) (N/NY-SC2209)
Workshops (Requires a Ticket and Separate Registration)
Joan Stanford, MA, ATR-BC
Joan Stanford, MA, ATR-BC, created a high school class “Alternative Mirrors,” addressing body image and self-esteem issues, and won Soroptimist’s “Making a Difference for Women” award. Joan is the author of “The Art of Play,” has a private practice, and offers imagination playshops and creativity retreats at the Stanford Inn.
Stressing a playful approach can minimize the resistance met when we ask clients to engage in expressive art making. This workshop will address key elements that play activates that are necessary for creativity. Once activated, a playful attitude informs life beyond the studio. A collage process will follow the presentation.
