Join us for this workshop series at Arroy Thai & Filipino Restaurant that blends food, magic, and performance! Participants will dive into hands-on experiences — from crafting delicious cream cheese wontons to creating personalized spell jars infused with energy, and learning stage makeup, presence, and theatrical flair! This immersive, creative series celebrates expression, artistry, and community.
Week 1: The workshop begins with a hands-on culinary lesson where participants will learn the art of cream cheese wonton making and building their own creation.
Week 2: Next, we'll continue with a magical experience where participants will learn basic information about witchcraft; highlighting the importance of energy, how you can use it for protection, how to recognize it and feel it all around you. Participates will create their own personalized spell jar gaining knowledge in intention and spell building.
Week 3: The final night is a performance art workshop extravaganza! Participants will receive guidance from local performers about stage make-up, presence, and all things theatrical. Participants will team up, and at the end, they will dazzle on stage!
FREE to 2SLGBTQIA+ youth 13-17 years who reside in St. Cloud/Central MN.
