The Acting Lab is a laid-back meet-up for amateur actors to perform, have fun, and help each other improve. Whether it’s a scene, a monologue, or some improv, everyone gets a chance to jump in and try things out. After each performance, the group shares honest, supportive feedback so we can all learn and grow together. It’s a great way to practice, connect, and build confidence in a relaxed, creative space.

This course will illustrate the connection between trauma and its impact on regulation, relationship and academic, social, and behavioral struggles, all while working towards a better understanding of what influences behavior and what behavior is communicating. With better understanding comes a better response, one that supports healing, facilitates connection and builds resilience. This course will offer a working definition of trauma and will explore a simple antidote to the trauma response that is surprisingly at the fingertips of anyone at any time. This experience gives participants the opportunity to put on a trauma sensitive lens and explore the “trauma goggles,” to deepen understanding of the impact of trauma on the mind, body, and soul. A practical overview of basic brain function and impact of trauma on the brain’s organization, function, and structure, especially the stress response system.
