The Living Body Workshop by Virginia Twins (Gr. 9-12)
2024-01-21 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Chicago) | Northfield Arts Guild, 304 Division St., Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
Join Twin Cities performers Virginia Twins for a workshop about attentions, listening and playful experimentation. With the same theater exercises that we use to create our shows, we will play and imagine together and practice looking at the world in a slightly different way. We believe that theater should be silly and honest, and while performing can be vulnerable, it can also be great fun! Our workshops are about connecting to the people who you’re performing with and building confidence on stage. This workshop is relevant for actors, dancers, performers of any kind, or anyone looking to explore their creativity as a moving body.
at the Guild Art Studio 304 Division Street South in Northfield, MN
Class is $25

The Hobbit (PDYT)

Northfield Arts Guild Purple Door Youth Theater presents The Hobbit!
Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It’s the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results – not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits.

A Watercolor Gratitude Workshop
2025-11-08 09:30 - 12:00 | Water Street Studios (411 Water St.), 411 Water St. S, Northfield, 55057, United States
Celebrate the season of gratitude through the mindful practice of watercolor. In this 2.5-hour creative process workshop, we’ll use artmaking to slow down, reflect, and connect with thankfulness. We’ll begin with gratitude leaves as a warm-up and group sharing, then move into creating personal watercolor mandalas as a way to explore balance and reflection. To close, each participant will paint and personalize the cover of a seasonal gratitude journal, which can be carried forward into daily life. No art skills are required—this class is about the process, not perfection.
