Action Theater Level 2: Body-Based Improvisation
Take Action Theater (AT) to the next level! Engage in deeper levels of eye work, memory, language, frames, transformation, and performance. We'll dive into advanced exercises from the book and beyond. Prerequisite: One term of intro AT class.
Action Theater is a practice of improvisation that has its roots in physical theater, dance and meditation. Through tuning in to sensation, we hone awareness of the moment. Following what the moment asks for, we respond with movement, sounding or speech, creating performance that is less cerebral and more embodied. Exercises that focus on the elements of form, such as timing, tension, shape, etc, help us to increase our awareness of the details of our expression. Exercises that focus on imagination and relationship expand our ability to create story and discover meaning and connection. With a constant practice of releasing judgement and embracing what is, we achieve liberation from familiar patterns and begin to explore the vast array of possibilities available in the human experience. A strong sense of playfulness and exploration in the room leads to a feeling of community.
