Sunday Workshops in Graham, MWG Technique: Improvisation to Composition and Guest Artists
GRAHAM
W/ AMELIE BENARD & ASSISTANCE BY IRIS FLORENTINY
(12:00-1:30)
Martha Graham (1894-1991), an American dancer and choreographer, was considered one of the foremost pioneers of modern dance. She invented a new language of movement, and used it to reveal the passion, the rage and the ecstasy common to human experience. This class will work on the fundamentals of the technique (use of the breath, spiral and use of the center) as well as working on your artistic skill as an actor or dancer.



PLUS TWO GUEST ARTISTS

GUEST ARTIST ROSTER


SUNDAY MARCH 28
Melissa Baroni: Freeing the Natural Voice
This workshop will be an opportunity to explore Kristin Linklater's approach to Freeing the Natural Voice. We will focus largely on the first half of the Linklater
Voice Progression, namely freeing the body, breath, and vibration in order to awaken your creative connection to your voice. This workshop will be taught by Melissa Baroni,
a Linklater Voice Teacher-in-Training. Please come prepared with any text or a poem that you know by heart.

Justin Flagg: Shakespearean Monologues
Come explore some of the greatest writing in the English language.  We'll introduce a few techniques to crack open Shakespeare's text to reveal a wealth of information and inspiration.  Either bring a Shakespearean monologue (memorized preferred but not necessary) or one will be given to you during the class.  Whether you fear The Bard, or just want a deeper understanding of his language, this class will help to move you along the path to bringing Shakespeare's words to life.



SUNDAY APRIL 25
Andrea Caban: Mask Work
&
Fay Simpson: The Lucid Body
http://lucidbody.com
Actors! Engage your mind and your body in order to develop your characters fully. The Lucid Body technique breaks up stagnant movement patterns and expands your emotional and physical range. Rooted in the exploration of the seven chakra energy centers, The Lucid Body reveals how each body holds the possibility of every human condition.



SUNDAY MAY 23
Laura Wickens: Layered Archetypes
Layered Archetypes, a physical and imaginative approach to characterization.Participants will go from simple characterizations to complex ones by exploring stock characters (e.g. introvert, flirt, coward, etc.) and then adding contrasting emotional, physical, and spiritual states. Focus will be on each participant's personal, unique
response to the archetypes and then deepening the original physical impulse through layered states of being.

Dan Booth Cohen: Constellations for Performers
www.HiddenSolution.com
This workshop adapts Bert Hellingers Family Constellation process for performers of all disciplines.  Family Constellations bring to the surface of conscious awareness the hidden ancestral memories held in the body. Every breathing individual retains resonance of the pure joy and unbearable suffering that is the collective legacy of inheritance.  Using a simple and nearly silent group process, this workshop will deepen perception of the universal storehouse of sensation.  Each taking a turn, we will stand in the orphan's grief, the exile's lament, the soldier's guilt, the widow's anguish, the slave's humiliation, the mother's anxiety, the father's emptiness, the child's loneliness.  At the end, you will have a deeper understanding of the many manifestations of love that lay
at the heart of every dramatic story.



SUNDAY JUNE 20
Charlie Alexander: Theater of The Oppressed

Peter Musante: Kinesthetic Response
This course utilizes sensory-based group exercises to enhance kinesthetic awareness. Students will unleash their true uniqueness by avoiding the ego-driven "need to be clever" and engaging with the life of the room. It is this moment to moment availability that allows genuine play to flourish and fuels all our creative endeavors.
