A Month of Fridays: Improvisation workshop series with Tony Osborne
End of an era – after 10 years the Glebe Life & Balance Centre is moving and the future of classes at St. Johns Hall is uncertain. So come and improvise your stories in the beautiful heated space perhaps for the last time.
Guided explorations of improvised sound and movement. Using somatic visualization as an entry point into individual movement, sounding and language, participants will be guided gently into a contemplative, reflective self-absorption. You will be encouraged to follow threads arising from this process into writing and moving exercises that will focus on tasks and allow intention to engage intuitively with meaning. This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in the process of integration of sound, text and moving as a process for enhancing performance content and extending skills. You will also have fun!
“I am interested in finding ways that assist us in converting meditative curiosity into craft and retain authenticity within the ‘narratives’ we create for the performance space. This workshop will focus on time and listening in the imaginative space and its relations to perception in performance. It will provide a supportive environment for the personal or performative exploration of this space.”
Tony Osborne has been improvising performance for twenty-five years. He is co-curator of Sydney’s monthly improv event Whip It, and regularly creates performance work in collaboration with a variety of theatre, sound and dance practitioners. He is also well known for his short and full-length improvised theatre and sound pieces and more recently his solo vocal explorations with the Splinter Orchestra.
