About

“Every mark tells a story.”

Every interaction leaves a mark—an imprint shaping how we think, feel, and act today. These imprints could come from family, friends, figures of authority, or even strangers. Artists and performers also receive imprints from within the scene—both healing and toxic.

This workshop invites participants to explore these imprints and how they influence our well-being and identity. Through expressive arts, we will uncover and give voice to these marks, culminating in personal monologues that transform experience into art, fostering self-discovery, resilience, and connection. A casual showcase and post-discussion will close the 2-day journey. Participants have the option NOT to perform their monologue at the showcase.

The workshop will be conducted in English. Participants are expected to join both days. (Max 15 participants)
