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.

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

They will also leave with a few additional tools in their writers’ 
toolbox.
