On Cue Regina works to strengthen Regina’s theatre and performing arts community, afford greater public access to these art forms, and increase the career viability of professional performing arts groups and individual artists. To do so, we recognize that Regina is a component of a broader cultural ecosystem. As such, we seek to partner with artists and performing arts organizations province-wide, offering our services broadly to the extent possible.
Description
Subtle Practice is a five-session workshop that invites participants to slow down, tune in, and rediscover improvisation as a natural, embodied way of being. Rooted in Daoist philosophy and traditional Chinese qigong, this approach has been developed through I-Ying Wu’s doctoral and postdoctoral artistic research and is open to people from all backgrounds and disciplines.
Rather than focusing on technique, choreography, or decision-making, Subtle Practice explores improvisation through subtle awareness—listening to sensation, energy, and relationships as they emerge in the moment. Participants are guided to attend gently to inner and surrounding spaces, allowing movement, sound, or stillness to arise organically, without force or expectation.
Each session includes guided movement exploration, open improvisation, and time for reflective writing or drawing. These practices help release habitual control, cultivate embodied presence, and deepen connection with self, others, and the environment. The workshop unfolds as a progressive journey, with each session building on the previous one. To fully experience the continuity and depth of the practice, participants are encouraged to attend the entire series, though attending individual sessions is also welcome.
