TRAUMA IN THE PUBLIC EYE
AN EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP
w/ Peter A Levine, PhD and Betsy Polatin, MFA

After four vibrant Trauma and the Performing Artist workshops in Los Angeles, London, and New York, Peter A Levine, PhD and Betsy Polatin, MFA have decided to take this dynamic and transformative work to the next level and open it up to: Trauma in the Public Eye.

This unique experiential workshop is designed for all wishing for a greater capacity to engage more fully with life. Peter and Betsy invite all actors, musicians, dancers, teachers, therapists ... and anybody else whois interested in movement, breathing, human behavior, and trauma. After all, aren’t we all performers in ourown public eye? Just walking into a room full of people for a gathering or an office meeting can be as triggering for one person as walking onto a stage filled auditorium is for another.

In this workshop, packed with demonstrations, lecture, and group exercises, you will explore your inner sensations, motivations, and intentions, as you learn how to safely and actively utilize your unique emotional trauma history along with an enhanced body awareness and easier breathing to convey a wider spectrum of feelings and inner sensations. Trauma, when accessed at the level of body sensations can open us up to an incredible, yet subtle array of feelings fostering a deeper connection to ourselves and others. You do not need to perform or reveal your personal history to participate in and benefit from this workshop.

For an actor, this brings up the question – How can I make a character truly authentic and believable?

For a musician – How can I express the music with deep intention?

For everybody – How can I learn to be comfortable in myself as I interact with others?

Join internationally renowned Somatic Experiencing® trauma expert, Peter A Levine, PhD and movement, breathing and Alexander Technique Master lecturer Betsy Polatin, MFA, for this unique London opportunity.

We hope you can join us. We look forward to meeting you and exploring the depths of your authentic talents.
