In this workshop we'll use the expressive arts to discover our perceptions of body image and what seem to be society's perceptions of it.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore if they sense gaps between the two and what are they. This process will be done experientially through the different modalities of expressive arts, focusing on movement, sculpturing and writing; and through creating and sharing with others.
