To be human is to live in the tension between polarities, doing and being, belonging and freedom, masculine and feminine, and so on. We often have a preference for one side of a polarity and a rejection for the other side.  However, balance, health, and creative energy come through integrating both sides.  This isn’t just true for us as individuals but as a collective.  In teams, organizations, and communities, there is tension between structure and flow, leadership and followership, tradition and innovation, and the list goes on and on.  In this learning journey, we will play with polarities at an individual and a collective level. First, by identifying what are the important polarities, we need to bring them into focus by using polarity mapping and then, through applied improv and forum theater, create an embodied experience to bring these polarities into balance to unlock growth and creative energy.
