In this month’s training, which takes place exactly 24 hours prior to the Winter Solstice, we will explore some traditional stories of the solstice and create work that celebrates the lengthening of days as we head towards spring. Please plan to bring one song that helps lift your spirits when the days are at their darkest (this need not be holiday music and better not be a certain song by Wham!). Come dressed to move as we will use traditional tales as a launching off point for the generation of movement sequences. Join us for a morning of exploration led by Artistic Director Matt Cahoon.

Training is an integral part of theatre KAPOW’s work: acting, movement, improvisation, voice, speech, object work, viewpoints, and more.

You’re going to speak more than 123 million words in your lifetime. But what will you do when they run out?

In times of increasing uncertainty, playwright Sam Steiner’s dystopian romantic comedy, tempered with hope and laughter, is exactly the type of story we need. In a world where spoken language is restricted to a set number of words per day, the choices about what is said – and not said – take on profound meaning. Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons follows Oliver and Bernadette, two people grappling with the limits of communication and the impact it has on their relationship.
