Anger Workshops are active meditations designed to promote physical and mental health including the promotion of stress reduction. Anger Workshops seek to challenge the prevailing belief anger is a negative emotion and seek to equip people with alternative tools for dealing with stress in their daily lives. Anger Workshops discuss how anger is the product of love. The workshops will include a presentation by the artist as well as a roundtable discussion. This workshop is one in a series of six seminars discussing performance and participatory art in the age of social change.
