Class Description:
It’s a play date! It’s a drop-in! It’s a drop-in playdate for your voice & body to wiggle it around! It’s a drop in to your pleasure and your pleasure in playing pretend, a drop-in to your sense of fun and nonsense, a drop into the power & pandemonium of our collective imaginations on stage…
Each week, Playdates will focus on a different principle of play through improvisation, group games, exercises and exploits — helping you to rediscover & reconnect to your playful impulses, to access a keen sense of aliveness onstage & enabling you to breathe new life into the characters, texts and theatrical worlds you want to inhabit and create.
Sessions can be taken individually and also will build on one another as we develop a vocabulary and ways of approaching performance through play.
