Katina combines expressive skills with theatre to create an enriching performing arts experience. "Other Voices" offers is a dynamic residency designed to activate the creativity and expression of the participants. Combining theatre and counseling technique students explore themselves and our society. The workshop culminates in a public expression of the discoveries the students make. Students determine the elements of the presentation: spoken word, dance, music, comedy sketches, and visual arts.
