Action Theater – Voice, Motion & Mind

Instant composition, real-time performance and physical dance/theater training

As we breath, we move. With that combination of natural events, we can find a voice, one that sings, that howls, speaks out our personal world in each and every moment. Yet, too often, we are held back, fearful of the judgment that comes with being too loud, taking up too much space. Yet our voice is what expresses us. It is what brings a greater “me” into being. It’s where we grow, engage and confront the world around us. That voice, that delicate bird song, that strike of lightening, that blasting siren, that puff of wind, is what tells our story and greets us once again when we carry that voice into language. It all starts with movement, movement connects to breath, breath connects to voice, that voice connects to words. This is where language is born, from the body, from the breath that presses its way out and calls for expression.

If you can move, and be aware of your movement while moving, then you can sense the breath that rides that movement and the voice that wants to come out.

This workshop is all about that moment: noticing, experiencing and responding to the rise and fall of lungs and the partnered song.
