WS 3
Scenic tools for your improv
This workshop focuses on objects and details to create new images and new imaginaries. It's a cinematographic and photographic investigation of object theatre to expand the imagination of improvised performance. What worlds can emerge from an image in space, and what is our relationship with it? Improvisation generally starts with an empty stage and invisible objects worked with pantomime. In this workshop, we work from the relationship with a concrete image of an object to expand our improvisation into a technical hybridity with film and photography to rethink our scenic improvisation.
