Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Dear friends, I would like to inform you about an upcoming workshop. Curated by Meg Araneo, and taking place August 2-5, Lines of Flight offers an intensive four-day immersion in contemporary performance practice. We have assembled an impressive group of guest artist-teachers: Kameron Steele (The South Wing); O'Harra (Theatre of a Two-Headed Calf); Gian Murray Gianino (SITI Company); and Irizarry (Columbia University); as well as Maximilian Balduzzi and myself. Each artist will lead one or two introductory training sessions in their own technique or approach of body-based theater, and in the evenings will discuss or present excerpts from their work. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to get a sense of what lines of tradition and embodied practice are active in the NYC theater scene today. The teachers mentioned have direct or indirect relationships to lines of work including Meyerhold, Grotowski, Suzuki, Viewpoints, and Commedia Dell'Arte. Yet each works in their own way, tracing a " line of flight " through and towards possibilities linked to the contemporary moment. You can download the complete workshop schedule and details here: http://www.urbanresearchtheater.com/site/flight.htm We could also use your help in spreading the word. If you are in touch with any students of theater or dance, with actors who are interested in physical approaches, with dancers who are interested in theater, please take a look at the workshop information and consider forwarding this information to them. Thanks, and I hope to see you soon! Ben Spatz Founder and Artistic Director Urban Research Theater New York City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
