Naropa’s MFA, founded in 2004 by Wendell Beavers, is creating a new paradigm in interdisciplinary performance integrating psychophysical acting, new somatic movement techniques based on the work of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen (BMC©), extended vocal technique(Roy Hart) and Mary Overlie’s Viewpoints. This one-day workshop will cover an introduction to experiential anatomy vocabulary and developmental movement as a foundation for creating personal physical technique. We will also investigate the viewpoints pallet, with an emphasis on the viewpoints of kinesthesia (movement) and emotion.

DAI INTENSIVE: THE LAB

July 2 – 27
With Joan Schirle, Ronlin Foreman, Stephanie Thompson, Joe Krienke & guests
The month-long DAI intensive is based on the actor-training methodology of The Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre. The work of the actor-creator arises out of silence, darkness and empty space, moving into ensemble play and the actor’s ability to devise original work for the stage. The training aims towards creation of The Dynamic Theatre, a visceral, actor-centered theatre which crosses stylistic boundaries and informs classic as well as contemporary works, original as well as adapted works.
The skillful, dynamic, and easeful use of the performative body/voice is at the core of our curriculum. The goal is an actor whose presence demonstrates an ability to command the time and space of the stage. The DAI Physical Theatre Intensive is appropriate for actors, dancers, directors, teachers and designers. More info on The Lab at our website http://www.dellarte.com/DAI Intensive
Discounts for ATME & AEA members. Workshops take place during DAI’s Mad River Festival—performances by The Dell’Arte Company, Humboldt Folklife Festival and more…
