Rethinking Addiction: A Drama Therapy Workshop with 2nd Act

Saturday, Nov. 11 drama therapists Ana Bess Moyer Bell and Amy Lazier of the artist collective 2nd Act will lead a workshop designed to challenge participants’ ideas about addiction through a drama therapy model. This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibition "Objects of Addiction: Opium, Empire, and the Chinese Art Trade," on view through Sunday, Jan. 14. By examining, embodying as well as destigmatizing addiction and creating metaphorical objects of care, love and support, participants will develop a shared understanding of addiction and how it affects daily life. The hands-on session will take place in the Materials Lab on Lower Level. Registration is required and space is limited. The $15 materials fee must be paid to confirm registration. Please email am_register@harvard.edu or call 617-495-1440 to join the waitlist. Participants must be at least 14 years old; previous experience is not required.
