KCACTF Region VII

In this workshop, we will engage the whole body with natural forms and forces via movement and gesture. How can we see the stage as a mysterious, living, and poetic space? We will learn and explore basic acrobatic partnering and movement as it relates to visceral storytelling on the stage. At the end of the workshop, UpLift Physical Theatre will perform a 30-minute adaptation of their work "Terra Incognita: Through the Waves"

In this workshop, we be exploring physical presence, play, and the dynamics and dimension of movement. We will play to discover how the actor/performer/creator can be available to the impulse, partner, physical world, and circumstances of the moment through improvisation and ensemble movement studies. Appropriate for any level of prior stage experience, come dressed to move.

A rigorous training session focused on the discovery of the performer's full vocal, physical, emotional, and imaginative potential. This highly physical workshop—based on the training methodologies of Double Edge Theatre (USA), Studio Matejka (Poland), and the Grotowski Institute (Poland)—explores a variety of methods for transcending individual barriers in performance, creating new work, and promoting ensemble-based collaboration.
