**CANCELLED** PlayLab: Moving Through Heightened Language
October 12 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
**DUE TO UNFORESEEN EVENTS, THIS PLAYLAB HAS BEEN CANCELLED. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR NOVEMBER’S SPECIAL TWO-DAY PLAYLAB**
A2AC PlayLab free family workshop in Ann Arbor presents an intergenerational movement workshop for caregivers and children ages 7-12.
Join A2D2 Theatre co-founders Alexandria Davis and Antonio Disla for an immersive 90-minute workshop that combines embodied storytelling with heightened language techniques. Through guided movement, improvisation, and creative expression, participants will explore how their bodies can tell stories using both movement and elevated language patterns.
This workshop draws from our Ancestral Intelligence framework, specifically designed to help children ages 7-12 discover connections between memory, verbal, and physical expression. Participants will engage in structured movement experiences that honor diverse ways of knowing while building confidence in creative self-expression. No prior dance or theatre experience required—just curiosity and willingness to move!
Activities include:
• Closing circle sharing reflections through movement and words
• Warm-up movement sequences that connect breath, voice, and body
• Collaborative storytelling through guided improvisation
• Introduction to heightened language through playful poetry and rhythmic speech
• Moving tableaux creation where participants embody characters and emotions
A2AC PlayLab is supported by a grant from
