WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN A MINUTE? 
with Stephen Nachmanovitch and Cathy Rose Salit

Saturday, August 12, 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
Scandinavia House, 58 Park Ave. (betw. 37-38 St.) 
Registration: $135 by July 22; $150 after July 22.
Nachmanovitch's Free Play and Salit's Becoming Principle grew out of more than two decades of bringing artistic and creative improvisation together with everyday life. They each created transformative exercises based on what people can do in just one minute. 

On August 12th the East Side Institute brings these two sought-after creativity experts together for What Can Happen in a Minute? They have found that one minute can launch a discovery process that enhances creativity in all areas of your life. 

You can try out new ways of listening, talking, being. Suspend judgment. Change your relationship to mistakes and failures. Be present in a process and lose your concern with particular outcomes and results. Learn to reinforce your trust in the creative processes you engage in. Change and develop as you go.
