ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: 

Silent object work is essential to a mime artist and the elements used in this genre are important to improvisers as well. Object work allows the performer to slow down scenes or if a performer is stuck on where to take the scene, silent work allows a performer to focus on the direction of the scene. Silence is a relatively new tool, as performers are encouraged to respond as a way of supporting what is introduced on the stage. But a facial expression or an exaggerated body movement can be supportive as well. This workshop will explore these tools and provide ways to infuse them into scenes. All levels are welcome.

 

WHEN:

October 15, 1:30-3:30 p.m.
