ABOUT THE "BECOME UNDONE" WORKSHOP

What does it take to let yourself be seen on stage? And how do you give an audience everything you've got without losing yourself in the process?

In this three-week workshop, Cornelius O shares techniques for cultivating presence, working with vulnerability, and using your own experiences as material for performance. Through movement, games, journaling, and performance exercises, participants will practice tuning into themselves and their surroundings, making bold emotional choices, and learning when to let go (and when to fake it).

Part masterclass, part laboratory, BECOME UNDONE is about developing the skills to leave it all on stage while taking care of yourself along the way.

You don't need to do the splits. You can just show us your heart.

Open to all experience levels and performance disciplines.

Participants should bring:

> Comfy clothes
> Snacks
> Notebooks
