Improvisation training for experienced actors, dancers, and performers to deepen their Action Theater™ practice. This training allows performers to: identify mental blocks; repeat actions clearly; communicate better; make quicker decisions; stay in the present; maintain focus; think less and do more.

All the aspects of our instrument, the human body/mind, are tied up in many kinds of judgments and habits. In this training the details of our blocks are discovered.

We break elements down. We work with very simple limitations that promote awareness; e.g. sound only, movement only, sound and language.

We separate observable exterior elements into three parts: sound, movement and language. Interior elements are separated into feeling state, kinesthetic sensation and action.

Action Theater™ practice leads towards: improvisational performance. No score, no structure, no story--the action unfolds for the first time in front of the performer and the audience. Performers have no idea what it's going to be about or how it's going to feel. They enter the stage empty. 

As you get into the practice more--and it is a practice--you discover the beauty of believing in the present, accepting each moment for what it is. You also learn that this practice is an active meditation.
