Class description from Aaron Jungels, Co-Executive/Artistic Director:

“Join Everett Company for a workshop that shares the methods they used to create their latest production, Good Grief. In the creation of Good Grief Everett utilized the Internal Family Systems model of therapy, or IFS, to access and explore the performers various internal parts. 

IFS is an intuitive model that views a person as having three categories of parts – exiles, managers and firefighters, and each part has valuable qualities and wants to play a positive role within. Often our parts are forced out of their valuable roles by life experiences that reorganize our internal system in unhealthy ways. IFS recognizes that, at our core, we have a true self, undamaged by our experiences, that can heal our parts and bring harmony back to our internal system. 

In this workshop participants will identify parts of themselves that they want to work with. Other workshop participants will be cast as these parts and we will create scenes and dances based on the interactions of their parts.”
