Beth Cleary

Beth Cleary is a writer, yoga teacher and professor emerita of theater at Macalester College. As a director and theater educator, she emphasized process as an end in itself, performance as a site of urgency and ethical responsibility, and collaboration as an art and a practice. WTR as a group process is kin to Beth’s theater work in many ways. As a yoga teacher, Beth is certified in the viniyoga tradition, which emphasizes breath, gentle repetition of movement, and adaptation of postures. Beth is the co-founder, with labor historian Peter Rachleff, of the East Side Freedom Library in St. Paul.
