Feeling it

An exploration of Empathetic Physicality with Rebekah Morin
This workshop offers an exploration of the unique performance and directing skills that come into play when the audience and performers are not separated by a fourth wall. Taught from a movement perspective, this workshop is for actors, dancers, and creators of experiences in all mediums who are interested in making creative decisions through the use of intelligent, empathetic physicality. Participants will have the opportunity to deeply examine their relationship to space, to other performers, and to interactive audiences of various sorts, from the ambient, shifting landscapes of site-specific work to the intimacy of one on one immersive theater.
Day one will focus on somatic practices to open our senses, hone our physical listening, and keep us connected to the present moment.
Day two will focus on crafting the audience experience.
PLEASE NOTE: Enrollment is available for one or both nights of the workshop- for enrollment in night #2 only, please visit: http://feelingit2.bpt.me
