Not Man Apart - Physical Theatre Ensemble’s Training Workshop
The Body Electric – Sensation & Physicality
Thursdays & Sundays in March @ The Electric Lodge, Venice
w/ Artistic Director John Farmanesh-Bocca & Assoc. Artistic Director Jones Welsh
Workshop Description
The Body Electric teaches to the style and performance approach of Not Man Apart’s signature physical theatre productions, imparting our creative shorthand to potential company members so that they are equipped with tools for rapid creation in rehearsal and dynamic presence in performance.
Part Dance, Part Abandoned, Part Fun, Part Jedi.
John will cover a deep examination of Kin-aesthetic Energy and how it can instantly spark creation and inform improvisation. The focus will be to amplify skills and develop a practice of anticipating, reading and partner dancing with energy.
Jones will guide participants to feel deeply into another body to sense presence and intention with expanded awareness. Sharing weight and partnering through elements of Contact Improvisation and acrobatics leads to a safe understanding of rich, free self-expression in partnership.
