Jump into your body....Open like a little flower....Rediscover your playful spirit and the simple pleasure and ferocious generosity of performance.

Week 4
Commedia dell’arte with Christopher Bayes
Learn to bring the mask to life! Live fully in your body! Investigate the actor/creator! Take ownership of your work!
In this class, we continue to develop the transformational power of the actor. When the mask is alive - and we see the impulses begin to travel without filter through the physical psychology of the body and played with abandon - we begin to understand the actor/audience relationship in all of its ferocious beauty. The work is primarily improvisational with the actor/creator at the center of the theatrical conversation.
Monday – Friday | 12 pm – 5 pm | June 24th – 28th
JACK | 20 Putnam Ave | Brooklyn, NY

*(or $650 when you sign up for weeks 1, 2, & 3 at the same time, $2795 total)
