as WITCHTITS, zinzi buchanan and i just recently co-facilitated a week-long workshop at ponderosa in stolzenhagen as part of the PORCH training/improvisation module.

preparing to teach included:

talking, asking each other questions, making each other laugh, making ourselves laugh, considering the people present, remembering our own experiences with PORCH/ponderosa, putting on lipstick, putting on costumes, committing to our 'free 2 fart' zone, challenging each other, activating our curiosity and preparing the space.

in this attached photo, you can see that we figured out the easiest way possible to transport mattresses from the small studio to the big studio.

preparing to teach and preparing the space was its own ritual as part of our facilitating/teaching. 

for me, the preparation grounds me in my interests and what i want to share. and be open to new directions that the workshop may take.  that's one of the fun parts!
