This workshop, Trauma Informed Creative Practices (TICP), is for artists & educators who are interested in folding this methodology into their personal, artistic, and/or educational practices. This workshop introduces the development and theoretical underpinnings of TICP, contextualizes it in our present moment, and discusses how to apply it in our future.

What to Expect:

  In general, everything is an invitation. You can engage as much as you feel comfortable, in the ways you feel comfortable throughout the workshop. There will be time to reflect and ask questions built into each hour, as well as moments to ground, center, and be present with ourselves. The workshop will be a combination of reflection, discussion, and lecture. Participants are encouraged to take hand-written notes and be prepared for some movement based practices.

This workshop is led by Molly W. Schenck, founder of Grey Box Collective. Molly W. Schenck is fascinated with human movement and what interrupts the full expression of it. This has guided her body of work in the visual and performing arts, educational psychology, trauma, entrepreneurship, and fitness. She is the founder of Grey Box Collective (an interdisciplinary, experimental, post-dramatic, trauma-informed arts organization that devises original performances around topics of social and emotional wellbeing i.e. makes weird art about tough stuff) located in Phoenix, AZ (greyboxcollective.com). For more information visit: mollywschenck.com You can also read her most recent article on the intersection of trauma and creativity on HowlRound here .
