Overview of class

This ensemble-based physical theatre class gives focus to performing larger-than-life moments of theatrical spectacle. We will explore magic, movement, music, sound, puppets, physical improvisation, and a myriad of special skills brought to the cohort by its members to excite the imaginations of our audience and bring impossible moments to the stage. An emphasis on the actor as creator, ensemble ethics, collaboration, and physical storytelling will be present throughout.
