OpenHeart Playshop Weekend

@ It Looks Like It's Open Studio
13 E Tulane Rd. in Clintonville
June 1 at 6:30pm until June 3 at 1:30pm

So, what is an OpenHeart Playshop???

Simple... we gather together to build trust and community, move toward body/mind mastery, have a ton of fun, and learn to create some mind-blowing movements and shapes utilizing several bodies at once.

There are a lot of options to choose from, and some package deals if you dive into the whole experience. See below for some brief descriptions and registration details and check out the Facebook event to stay up to date.

This playshop weekend will be held at 'It Looks Like It's Open Gallery' space at 13 E. Tulane Rd. Columbus, Ohio 43202.
