It’s a fresh school year and it has been thriving during this Covid time. Online. We have been Zooming through classes, studio weekends, intensives, workshops.... Lean in. ... ...What do u see? In one of the very first classes, a group of first year students consolidate theory experientially. Knowledge becomes embodied. The listening, the witnessing. Butterflies, colours, deep connection... Felt. Known in a way a strictly didactic approach ...to the pedagogy would never achieve. This virtual world is as vital as any other. We have 15 students in our first year class- a full class shaping our learning space together. Leaning in... It’s a beautiful thing in these uncertain times. #create #institute#expressive #arts #therapy #training #school #career #profession #toronto #zoom #virtual #mentalhealth #selfcare #development #zoom #oeata #ieata #egs #instagram #igers #igerstoronto #covid_19 See more

We are excited to announce the 2020/2021 JSDH Bursary recipient! DRUM ROLL PLEASE....... Congratulations Shambhvi Sharma! WAHOOO! This is what Shambhvi had to say... "I am still surprised, overwhelmed and excited to receive JSDH Bursary for this year. A big thank you to the committee for selecting me as the recipient and it means a lot to me. Moving to Canada was tough and the expenses for the course were just overwhelming along with setting my foot here. It has not only made me less worried for the school but also brought somewhere a strength to keep moving, just like the push I needed for my inner self. Receiving the call today from Ayrlie was a surprise, I would say I didn't believe it for a long time but it meant so much to me that my application was selected, my words were felt. Thank you for the support and the encouragement. With a warm heart and gratitude, Shambhvi Sharma" _________________________ The Jennifer Sjenta Dancer Haberman (JSDH) Bursary is awarded annually to a third year 'Create' student.
