During the first week in November, amidst bright autumn sunshine and surprisingly warm temperatures, New York Expressive Arts hosted the 2005 Harvest Symposium, the annual gathering to celebrate and explore the role of intermodal expressive arts in therapy, education and coaching. Over fifty practitioners and nine master teachers from all over the world came together for four days for art making and sense-making.
Among the teachers were Paolo Knill, pioneer and one of the founders of the Expressive Arts field; Steve and Ellen Levine; and Markus Alexander, founder of Glass Lake Studio, currently of Edmonton, Canada.
Day-long workshops in music, mask theater, poetry, improvisational play and clay were augmented by evening performances, small group discussions on topics of
interest to the field and a culminating Performance Night, which was one of the best ever. Enjoy some photos from Harvest 2005 below.
