SESSION ONE: INTRO TO VIEWPOINTS (Instructor: Ruthie Buescher)
Friday June 7 - 6:30-8:00pm
Developed by Ann Bogart, Viewpoints is a physical theater method that trains actors to listen, collaborate, and understand their own movement and motivations, as well as those of the ensemble. A foundational building block for much devised theater, Viewpoints is an essential method for any performer seeking to build a more powerful presence onstage.
SESSION TWO: INTRO TO THEATER OF THE OPPRESSED (Instructor: Lizzy Gore)
Saturday June 8 - 10:00am-12:00pm
Explore the ensemble-building games, imaging, and story-building techniques of Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed to surface and explore everyday stories as a kaleidoscopic reflection of our historic and political moment. Create an interactive, choose-your-own adventure play to perform by the end of the workshop.
SESSION THREE: INTRO TO MOMENT WORK (Instructor: Alex Grubbs)
Saturday June 8 - 1:00-2:30pm
This workshop will be an introduction to the process of creating devised theater founded by luminary theater group Tectonic Theater Project. Spearheaded by the original company members under the direction of Moises Kaufman, the "Moment Work" technique approaches creativity and discovery in a collective and collaborative fashion. Participants will get an introduction to the process and theory, as well as an opportunity to compose and collage moments of their own.
