Physical Surrealism—Impro in Movement

The main objective of this workshop is to train tools from dance and physical theater to create from and with the body. We'll work to develop the body's creativity and the relationship between movement and image, movement and ideas, and movement and words. By combining dance and theater, we can add poetic ways of telling stories, expressing emotions, and creating imaginary worlds with unconventional bodies. Students will take away creative devices from the body that they can apply in their individual and group improvisations. The workshop will offer a break from realism and open the door to surreal, imaginative creation.
