Program: Group Therapy

Running time: 90 minutes, no intermission

Step into the evocative world of Group Therapy, an immersive dance-theater experience where movement and language intertwine in a quest for understanding ourselves and one another. Guided by a former dance teacher turned self-certified Experimental Experiential Dance Therapy Theatre Therapist, you’ll join a session like no other—one where bodies speak louder than words, time-outs are transformative, and the act of naming unnamed feelings becomes an art form in itself. Using a DIY aesthetic and a hearty dose of humor, Group Therapy creates a world where we all attempt to get “better”—whatever that means. Leah Cox is the co-creator, co-producer, and performer of Group Therapy, as well as the co-founder of makegroup. In addition to her work in creating and performing, Cox is a nationally recognized educator and served as the Dean of the ADF School from 2015 to 2022.

This interactive performance engages with audience members, inviting them to join individual and group activities to get the full experience of Group Therapy. No dance background needed, just come open to a new experience!
