THE SOMADDICS Body-based Improvisation

Julie Oak's RealPlay presents: The SOMADDICS 2nd debut performance of improvisational physical theater. We ride the currents of movement, sound, and word to the far corners of our psyches, creating dreamlike terrains of poetry, story and play.

We are committed to the union of body heart and mind - of conscious and unconscious through this embodied style of movement theater improvisation. RealPlay includes tenets of dance and theater improvisation, melded for spontaneously created physical theater, often incorporating autobiographical material.

Todd Phillips is a huge proponent of self-expression and human development through play! He has been performing and teaching with UmGeeUm Improvisation since 1997, making up skits, musicals, and stories on the spot. He loves improv becauin se it requires us to walk boldly into the unknown and be fully present in the moment of discovery while taking risks, listening, cooperating, and letting go of survival strategies.
