Physical Theatre workshop led by Tina Kronis, Artistic Director of LA-based theater company Theatre Movement Bazaar. After a brief introduction of TMB’s work and performance practices, Tina will train participants in the physical theatre work used by her company. The workshop is designed to enhance mind-body awareness, precision, and
the inner/outer athleticism of the performer. By coordinating movement, breath, voice, and rhythm, the workshop develops dramatic instincts and an expressive body. Tina’s unique performance methodologies are inspired by dance, Meyerhold, European clowning and Eastern European Theatre practices. Directions for participants: please prepare a one-minute memorized monologue (text may be contemporary, classical, or from an original source). We’ll work barefoot, and please bring water. Yoga mat recommended but not required. Please wear comfortable clothes and be ready to move and play.
