"With faith in your physical actions
you will feel emotions, akin
to the external life of your part,
which possess a logical bond
with your soul."
Konstantin Stanislavski

The primary focus of this workshop is an investigation into the body
as the foundational source of deep imaginative impulses,
strengthening and expanding an actor's expression, thus allowing a
more dynamic interpretation of his craft.

By working with and through the body, one discovers the joy of a
centered and grounded performance under any conditions. A fully
embodied expression leads to honest and organic character choices as
well as rich emotional and atmospheric range.

Utilizing ensemble and individual exercises, we will focus on:
-- recognizing impulses and creating a receptive body to channel them
-- the containment of energy in our body and when this serves or
hampers our expression
-- the development of greater articulation of the spine and 
extremities
-- the development of coordination
-- the development of contrapuntal use of our extremities and
through them emotions and atmospheres
-- how breath animates the body and voice
-- the relationship of voice and text 
-- the development of increased awareness and concentration
-- the power of ensemble generated creativity

The workshop is designed for all levels of actors from the neophyte
to the seasoned professional. It is applicable to all mediums
required for an actor to create in -- from street performance to
Close-up camera work.

All Participants must be ready to work barefoot, to roll, to dance,
to sing, to play. All Participants must have a poem or short
monologue memorized.

$50 / Barter is always a possibility
