As a performer, you may be on stage about to make a reveal, but why? This workshop is to refine each moment and ask truly why I am doing something on stage. This workshop is for any performer building or refining an act. Intention: what is your motivation behind your movements Specificity: it's the little details that make the biggest impact Commitment: strong and wrong is the way to go (there is no wrong) In this workshop we will collaborate on a mini performance that will challenge you to ask yourself these questions: What is the intention? How can we make it specific? * Am I truly commiting to the moment? What to bring/wear: robe and gloves, dress in something you can dance in and move around, heels if you're character wears them.
*Head to our classes page to bundle with ‘pleasure n play’ on july 14th
