September 2026 Open Training
Drawing from the Dutch theatre company Orkater’s practices, Guest Artist Cory Lawson this workshop explores a European model of devising that decentralizes text, treating dialogue as just one theatrical element alongside music, movement, lighting, and sound. Working as an ensemble, participants will build upon one another’s ideas and imaginations, transforming the mundane into something extraordinary and creating an original piece together.
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!
