This intensive 2 day workshop will immerse you in physical approaches to acting with Tina Kronis, co-founder of Theatre Movement Bazaar and CalArts movement/performance professor.
Explore a physical approach to acting. Using rigorous exercises from the Moscow Art Theatre, Biomechanics, and Eastern European theatre traditions, this workshop will help you develop a more flexible, spontaneous and expressive performance method.
Build your acting instincts, learn new techniques for expressive physical performance, and develop your ability to approach text physically.

ABOUT THEATRE MOVEMENT BAZAAR:
Theatre Movement Bazaar is a company dedicated to creating original performance works with an emphasis on physical action. We merge elements of dance, text, cinema, and media from diverse sources into a complex performance. We investigate these elements, modifying or neutralizing them, de-contextualizing them from their sources. Liberated from their contexts, our elements are free to be structured in new and surprising ways, creating a connotative network of echoed and reverberant meanings. In this multifarious approach, we strive to reinvigorate theatre for a contemporary audience.
TMB began in New York City as a collaboration between choreographer/director/performer Tina Kronis, and mechanical engineer/writer, Richard Alger. In 1999, the company relocated its base to Los Angeles, became a non-profit 501c(3) corporation, and has produced eleven original works, garnering critical attention, presenting its work across the US, Europe, and China.
"The brainchild of Tina Kronis and Richard Alger, Theatre Movement Bazaar skips across the boundaries of linear narrative and naturalistic movement into a world where idiosyncratic gesture becomes the building blocks of dance and a character's text is as likely to come from a cultural footnote or found text. The glue that keeps the work coherent and entertaining is a mixture of wicked literary intelligence and a wonderfully dry physical wit" - KCRW LA
