HERE’S PUTTING A new twist on things: Vancouver Fringe Festival is offering Downward Facing Fringe.
The free stretch sessions are led by Jennica Grienke, co-artistic and managing director of Carousel Theatre for Young People. Not only is she a dedicated theatre maker; she’s also a certified yoga instructor.
The focus is on building strength and flexibility while having fun. Participants are asked to bring a yoga mat and to register in advance. Due to limited availability, people will go right to a wait list then with confirmations to follow shortly after on a first-come-first-served basis.
Festival Membership is not required to participate.
