Workshops in 2017!
We had a lot of fun responding to a request, from Janet Kahn School of Integrated Arts, for a workshop on the subject of "Characters." We brainstormed our way to currently offering 3-4 sessions exploring the subject of how we express character through body language, how we read and perhaps misread character signs in others, how we can distinguish between characters real and fictive, and more. What is a stereotype, a caricature, a cliche? What are the differences between to pretend, to lie and to act? To be obliged to rethink the obvious about definitions of character is extremely rewarding.

Workshop involves object theatre, drama, rhythm, visual art and puppet theatre.

Costs: $150/session, three-four sessions recommended for one class, duration of each session 60-75 minutes, two animators.
