BUILDING RIVERS
a corporeal investigation into the foundations of the actor\'s craft
with Bryan Brown

 at BODY|WORKS STUDIO
Hollywood
6577 Santa Monica Blvd.

Saturday, January 6, 2007
Saturday, January 13, 2007
12 - 4pm

LIMIT 8 students
Sliding scale : $100 - $30 / Barter may also be possible


This two day workshop will explore the dichotomy inherent in the actor\'s
craft : the simultaneous need to \"go beyond oneself\" and yet \"not to do
anything\".

The first day of the workshop will focus specifically on the individual work
of embodying the exercises plastiques (movement isolations fused with
imagery) and the corporels exercises (full-body exercises such as the cat,
headstands, rolls, the container). We shall search for precision of form as
well as generating more receptivity in our bodies allowing our impulses to
transform.

Participants are then expected to practice/process the work for a week,
returning the next saturday with the work more personalized.

The second day of the workshop will expand the previous individual work as
well as take it into partner and exercises with the aim of \"transforming the
body movements into a cycle of personal impulses\". This day will culminate
in participants entering the unknown playing space in order to experience
their imaginations, bodies and impulses flowing freer in a deeper, more
connected river.

River work allows actors to be conducted by their personal imagery. This
becomes the foundation for creating scores (a character, a role, markers for
an improvisation, blocking, a full production) which actors then keep alive
by returning always to the source of the river.
