Shake Shook Shaken is a monthly theater/movement workshop series produced by Julie Meckler. The series is designed for people to gently bring body awareness, allowing participants to open up, explore outside of their comfort zone, bond with each other, create and show.

Shake Shook Shaken is a dream of what a safe space could allow. A vision of a place for everybody to gather, look at each other, play and create in a non judgmental, trauma-informed way. It’s an invitation, a journey within and out, a surprise. Each workshop is unique. This month we’ll have Devin Ulery and Julie leading on the topic title Sound Suits You.

No prior dance or acting experience is necessary, just willingness to move and exhale. This workshop series is for anyone and everyone.

When she was a kid, Devin Ulery danced around whenever she heard music she liked.  To add to that, (as a self proclaimed sartorial novice) she would assemble lively ensembles to wear.  Eventually she put all of that together when she started playing the drum set in rock bands in (and around) Chicago. Not much has changed in the years that followed.  Devin aims to carry that spirit with the foresight of happiness in relationships through sounds and shared stories.”
