Taking time to build a “Where" and enter into it as a group helps players into the present moment and into true relation. We’ll discover the riches the environment has to offer as we slow down and explore it. Through a combination of warm-ups and scene games, players will work with space objects to create onstage environments and allow intuitive connections to emerge.
Viola Spolin’s Theater Games launched the American improvisational theater movement and changed the way acting is taught. Her work has influenced generations of actors and educators. In the workshop, we'll explore the groundbreaking exercises and theatrical concepts found in her seminal book, Improvisation for the Theater, with an emphasis on the philosophies of legendary improvisation innovators Viola Spolin and Paul Sills.
This workshop is for players with some Spolin experience or some theatrical experience who are open to exploring new methods.
