THE LIVING THEATRE - FREE THEATRE UNIVERSITY
Sept 7th, 2010
The Living Theatre invites all actors, artists, newcomers and performers of all levels to the Free Theatre University class to discover and learn the techniques of The Living Theatre *free of charge*. The Free Theatre University class is held on the first Tuesday of each month and is taught by veteran members of The Living Theatre and special guest teachers.
Explore The Living Theatre’s legendary avant garde and experimental techniques. The upcoming Free Theatre University on September 7th features:
STREET THEATRE PERFORMANCE
with Monica Hunken
Description: The class will utilize various physical theater techniques including Viewpoints, Grotowski’s plastiques and corporals, ensemble building, clowning and contact improvisation. We will explore how architecture and environment inform our movement and storytelling. Participants will examine how shifts in time, space and shape can creatively disrupt the pedestrian world and use the street as a performance medium for questioning, celebrating, and illuminating.
BUTOH-VOCAL THEATRE
with Eseohe Arhebamen, also known as Edoheart.
Description: Edoheart’s explorations into semiotics have resulted in a style she calls butoh-vocal theatre which incorporates elemental communication, using the total body, into the transformation work of ankoku-butoh dance-- the dance of darkness. No experience is necessary to participate. This lesson will attempt Edoheart's signature poem, "eAir Butoh". Edoheart is an African multimedia performance poet, dancer, singer and visual artist.
