DIF Workshop - Physical Gameplay & Organic Transformations, Lorax (Training Center: Purple)
This workshop has a capacity of 16. An in-depth and physical look at the sweaty world of physical gameplay, abstraction, and transformations as tools in longform improvisation. Using elements of contemporary physical-theatre, acrobatics/dance and classic groupmind and flocking this workshop will heighten both your physical offers, and our ability to pattern them into stunning edits or stand-alone game scenes.
