Acting Out: Improv Group Style 
9 -10:15 a.m.,&nbsp; Life Hall room 1200 
Crowd Source Acting is about using improvisation to act in the moment. 
Participants will be guided in an improvisational game that allows them 
to experience dropping into a roll and having the inspiration of those 
around them to achieve a common goal. That goal could be silly, serious,
 or absurd. Join us for a round or two of a game called Family 
Portraits, guided by Theatre department practitioners.
A Moving Experience For All 
10:30-11:45 a.m., Life Hall 1210 
This session will be a dance class for beginners, emphasizing freedom of movement and some basic dance moves. 
Got Art? Take This Workshop 
12:00-1:15 p.m., Calcia Hall 245 
Participants will explore a visual arts technique such as collage, clay 
sculpting, or mixed media and create a unique work. Guided by an artist 
educator, attendees will learn simple methods and experiment with 
materials during the session. 
Snap Snap: Taking Just the Right Picture 
1:30-2:45 p.m., Feliciano School of Business Lawn 
This digital photography workshop will start with a presentation on the 
powerful choices available for capturing and documenting the world with 
your camera. Each participant will be given directions for taking a

3:00-4:15 p.m.; Feliciano School of Business Lawn 
The Montclair State University West African Drumming and Dance Ensemble 
will perform and engage everyone to participate in traditional West 
African recreational music. We play a strong weave of polyrhythms on 
traditional drums, bells and rattles, and those in attendance will drum 
with us, sing with us in call and response in a West African language, 
and dance traditional movements with us, directed by calls from the lead
 drum. 
Let’s Get Physical: Writing Poetry about Memory and the Body 
4:30-5:45 p.m. Feliciano School of Business Room 140 
In this generative poetry workshop, we will begin by bringing our

embodied experiences. Participants will leave this workshop having 
written two new poems and having received feedback on one of the poems. 
They will also leave with a few additional tools in their writers’ 
toolbox.
