The first workshop , CREATIVITY IS A DAILY PRACTICE is all about creativity and how to bring daily practices into your life so that those ideas start flying! The second workshop, MAKE THOSE PERFORMANCE VIDEOS WORK FOR YOU, is all about how to break down your performance videos to make them easier to watch, and easier to pinpoint your strong points and the points you will want to work on to level up! First class is at 1PM and second class is at 2:15PM. As these are new classes, I am offering a discount so each class is only $20, or $35 for both.
