The Center for Spiritual Living Asheville will host an engaging workshop titled "Art of Transformation," led by renowned Goodwill Cultural Ambassador and international performing artist Ronald Rand. Rand's workshop promises to be both inspiring and enjoyable, offering participants a chance to explore their creativity through storytelling improvisation poetry, song, and movement exercises. Central to the experience is the use of Stanislavsky's original "Method of Physical Actions" acting chart which consists of 40 tools designed to help individuals express themselves authentically on stage and in daily life. In a statement about the workshop, Rand shared, "Art teaches us we each carry tools to transform not only in our own lives but to share truths about how to live with those around us. We can shape our joys into creative expressions of storytelling through transformation as long as we're willing to find ways to teach each other a way forward through peace, through love. We each carry within us a deep well we can draw from every day to guide ourselves. Through the power of art, we can inspire each other to come together to live in harmony."
