The South Bend Civic Theatre is offering free online workshops every Tuesday and Thursday at noon.

The 45-minute classes teach topics like ballet, shadow puppetry and movement meditation.

“The arts and especially theater is really about connecting and not being able to do that in person is really hard and this is one way to create that community without being in the same space as other people," said Grace Lazarze, the workshop coordinator.

The classes last until the middle of May.
