Join us for a campus plant walk inspired by Occidental College's 2023 Community Book selection, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer.

Theater and Performance Studies, Media Arts & Culture, and the Womxn in Cinema and Television Club present a screening of acclaimed artist and filmmaker Cauleen Smith's recently remastered and rereleased film 

 Viewer discretion is advised. We'll be hosting a small discussion about the film after the screening. We welcome all to come join us in this cinematic experience: non film people, non club members, we care not, all are welcome.

This event is NOT at OXY ARTS. It will take place at Thorne Hall on Occidental College's campus. Address and parking locations will be sent with registration.

Kissing on stage can be challenging to approach. There are very few jobs where you go to work and are asked to kiss your co-worker. So lets talk about kissing. In this workshop we will explore best practices for approaching kissing in rehearsal and performance. Creating kissing choreography that meets the characters, stories, and actors needs. Techniques for clarifying and facilitating kissing choreography. Alternative options to kissing. Masking techniques for kissing. Please note that there will be no lip to lip kissing in this workshop. 

The workshop will be 4 hours.
