Cass Tunick
This workshop in improvisation is based in the radical theatre and movement innovations of Ruth Zaporah. We ignite our awakened physical body to express heightened experiences of imagination (with depth, precision, and delight). We work intimately with physicality, sound, and language. Deep play structures expand awareness, our dreamtime, our openness, our ability to move with the unknown. We explore solo and ensemble scores that reveal relationships between being and action, form and feeling, power and humor. This workshop invites you into an artfulness in physical/verbal communication. We invest in sound and language originating from sensation and apply musicality to our animal ears. We learn stagecraft. We find discipline and freedom, cultivate fearlessness in chaos, find out how to be with a partner and still stay rooted in one's experience. We learn how to create heartful and provocative content in real time. We improvise our way forward supported by a rigorous and intelligent curiosity in an encouraging atmosphere.
