Sherapy

Sherry Vignon - a character created for practising Performative Therapy - will lead this Field Project. She will guide this weeklong seminar on giving Sherapy, which in itself will be a performance that people can come to watch and witness.
Sherry will teach students how to give Sherapy as well as how to be sensitive enough to people, so you can begin to read their minds. Sherry will coach them in self-awareness, the power of body language and paying attention to the subtle.

There will also be the use of pop music in order to enhance the learning experience and to relax the students and crowd.

Sherry's seminars are often spectacles in themselves. The students are not only students but also audience members. The audience members are not just an audience but students. Sherry is not only the coach but also the leader and follower. Get ready for Sherapy!
Please note: Everything will be documented and Sherry will have assistants (that she brings) as she sees fit.
