Crossing the Threshold: Space, Place, and Gesture
The great British director Peter Brook called the theater “the empty space.” Actors cross the threshold into that space and through movement they discover what is inside of it and give voice to their discovery. We’ll work with simple techniques of movement to create a place for characters to inhabit and a story they can tell. Join us for a morning of exploration with company member Peter Josephson.
Training is an integral part of theatre KAPOW’s work: acting, movement, improvisation, voice, speech, object work, viewpoints, and more. Company members have trained with Double Edge Theatre Company, the Michael Chekhov Studio, Shakespeare & Company, The Atlantic Acting School and SITI Company, and draw on these techniques and methods for their work.
Training is open to everyone 16 and older, with any level of experience or none. Participants should come comfortably dressed to move (no jeans). Arrive 15 minutes early to check in and stretch.
Water bottle recommended! Pay what you will!
