Commedia Improviso: Silliness, Stakes, & Structure
Pantalone owes Dottore money and Dottore has come to collect. Dottore thinks, “Pantalone must be good for the money since his shirt is fine satin.” / “No, no, it was a gift from a distant cousin.” / “Yes, but your furniture is all encrusted with gold.” / “That’s just parmesan cheese.” Learn how the silliness, stakes, and structure of the infamous Commedia Improviso (aka Commedia Dell’Arte) underlies nearly all modern comedy through this fun, participatory workshop. Open to experienced improvisers and beginners alike.

Ma 間: Devising Physical Theatre with Butoh & Viewpoints
Ma 間 refers to the important notion of space, gaps, or pauses vital to traditional Japanese visual and performing arts. Learn the value of charged stillness and negative space while creating your own riveting and sublime theatre of movement. Open to beginners and those with no prior dance or movement training.
