Architecture or Acting Partner?
This workshop will focus on the idea of architecture as a partner for the actor. Often in staging, directors and actors work on or around a set, or even the very theatre space in which they perform.
This workshop will help the actor physically explore their environment as a partner in character development and text delivery.
Please wear movement clothes and have a short piece of text memorized (form a play) in any language. All are invited to participate.
