ULTIMATE FRIDAYS – IMPROVISATION WORKSHOP SERIES WITH TONY OSBORNE
This series is 6 three hour workshops that progress within each session as well as over the 6 week duration. The final workshop will end with a performance by participants for an invited audience.
“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.”
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. And don’t forget you will also have fun!
