Thank you for this opportunity to exchange ideas with the other presenters for the POW conference in August!

My workshop “Self expression Through Movement and Play” is designed to enable the participants, regardless of background, to experiment with their childhood curiosity. They will be encouraged to use voice and movement in a play -like atmosphere. Scenarios will be provided or the participants may develop their own. These stories will be shared with the group in a supportive atmosphere.

I enjoy enabling others to experience the freedom of letting our adult guard down

and then allowing our creativity to find new ways of looking at a situation.

This workshop is an outgrowth from my passion for improvisation with voice and song. In watching and learning from artists such as Rhiannon and Bobby McFerrin and locally from improv director, David LaGraffe, I have been motivated to share my joy of play with others.

After 35 years spent as an RN, Marguerite Walker  brings a cornucopia of life experiences to her workshop. As a lover of word play and seeing the zany side of situations, she enjoys helping others experience that sense of enjoying the moment.

Marguerite presently resides in South Portland enjoying time with her dog, going to Meet ups, visiting with friends, reading historical fiction, singing daily for the joy of it, and looking forward to her next adventure.

She agrees with GK Chesterton regarding play:

“The true object of all human life is play.”

She would like to thank Debra Hensley for suggesting that she submit a workshop proposal to the TLA Network.
