PAUSE x Theatre Arts: A Gathering for POC Working in Grief & End-of-Life

PAUSE invites Folks of Color who work in end-of-life to join us for an evening of connection, resourcing, and nourishment. We all know this work is incredibly special and important – we also know that this work can be difficult and isolating. Our team is excited to create space for you to find community and maybe even some rest.

This gathering is an in-person workshop for 8–15 deathcare workers interested in exploring the connection between death, grief, and embodiment through the arts. We’ll gather in a private North Hollywood theater space for a unique workshop at the intersection of voice/body work and grief care.
Together, we’ll explore how the tools of acting – breath, voice, movement, improvisation, and storytelling – can support and sustain us in the tender, embodied work of deathcare.

Facilitated with intention and care, the session will include vocal exercises, movement, improv games, and opportunities to share and reflect through theatrical storytelling. No performance experience is required – just a willingness to be present, playful, and open. This will be a safe space for creative expression, connection, and vulnerability, designed to nourish those who hold space for others.
