Session Proposal
In my work as a museum performer, I am normally very "verbose" and explain a lot. Some peformances, however, contained elements of non-verbal interaction which worked beautifully to achieve the desired effect (sadness, empathy, shock). I want to talk about these elements and what worked - or attempts to achieve a strong, non-verbal impression, that maybe didnt work.
