Performance | Theater - Non acting / acting for the performer

This workshop explores what it is to sound, look, and be real on the stage. We’ll investigate different ways to use the voice and how to manipulate multiple meanings out of text using volume, tone, and rhythm as tools. We’ll work with and without microphones, use lists, film texts, novels, current events,  and improvisations to generate and inspire our own material. You could consider it acting, doing nothing, or using tricks, nevertheless this week we’ll explore how to consciously reveal the person behind the performer.

In our contemporary performance world, performers are not only hired for their physical skill but for whom they are as people themselves.  Pieces are built around the personalities of the performers and what they bring and propose during the rehearsal process. What do you propose if there is just a blank slate? How do you begin if a director just gives you one word to work on: Democracy, Resistance, Violence, Ghosts, Capitalism, Peace, Protest, Loss, Empowerment, the Future.? Artists are looking for performers that can dance, act, and perform while pushing borders and going to extremes. During these this week I’ll be asking you to bring in your own concerns about the world at large. We’ll then contantly create situations and improvisations that will challenge your global artistic skills, which in turn can be used in your own work in the future.
