Our art endeavors are sometimes executed within narrow bandwidth constraints. Fitting in warm up and cool down exercises can be challenging--but what benefits can we look forward to by including them? If “selling your sawdust” is an important aspect of making art, why include warm up and cool down exercises that don’t leave you with anything worth sharing?


Join Jerzy and Rob for a discussion on some exercises that mentally prepare us for engaging with the work more thoughtfully.
