Two-Day Physicality Intensive with Asaf Ronen
Posted: October 8th, 2012, 9:44 pm
Learn what blocks you from throwing yourself more into your body and your environment when you improvise. By freeing up the body, students will discover new characters, different approaches to creating a relationship onstage, and tools to add variety to their scene work. Minimize the reliance on dialogue and learn how to communicate solely through physical nuance using techniques that incorporate elements of clowning, mime, and environmental work into your improvisation.
$80 / $65 for Institution Students. (Use Discount Code StudentBody)
Limited to 14 students. The two-day intensive runs Saturday, November 3rd & Sunday, November 4th from 1pm - 5pm which includes a 15-minute break.
