In Open Body, Open Space, we examine concepts of presence, ensemble, non-verbal communication, and the use of space as a precursor to working in mask. This foundational month strips away at pretense and self-consciousness and examines the body as the ready source of creative inspiration. Much of the content of this class is based on the work of Lecoq’s brilliant collaborator Monika Pagneux. Simplicity, availability, and impulse lie at the heart of this challenging and immensely rewarding work.

Ages 18 and older.

Prerequisite: None. All experience levels welcome.
