About this Event
Contemporary Scene Study Through Experimental Movement & Improvisation
(with Devon deGroot/Theatre Lunatico)
Tuesday & Thursday evenings, Jan 14th-Feb 6th, 6:30pm-9:30pm (8 classes)
We will use movement explorations & improvisational exercises to unlock students’ creative freedom onstage and strengthen connections between scene partners and ensemble. We will work with selected scenes from a singular contemporary play, utilizing both experimental exercises and traditional scene work. This class is appropriate for all levels, as long as students arrive with a strong willingness to play. Please wear dance shoes or lightweight sneakers and comfortable loose or athletic clothing, ideally dark/neutral colors. Class itself can be flexible to many physical needs & limitations, but the class space is unfortunately only accessible via stairs. Some reading & memorization required outside of class.
Devon deGroot is a core company member at Theatre Lunatico, where she has performed in Attempts on Her Life, The Revolutionists, and The Moors. She’s performed elsewhere throughout the Bay Area (Altarena Playhouse, Custom Made, Pianofight) and assisted classes at Cal Shakes Summer Conservatory. She holds a degree in Drama (Performance) from SFSU with additional training at Berkeley Rep and A.C.T.
