Exploring Theatre Performance
A THREE-DAY INTENSIVE WORKSHOP with veteran Theatre Director Sunil Shanbag
Effective theatre performance rests upon a foundation of a sharp understanding of the self, and the world we live in. This calls upon imagination, observation, physical alertness, intellectual resources, analysis, deep compassion and empathy. In many ways theatre mirrors life in exciting and unique ways, allowing an understanding of self and the world in a safe and healthy way.
The workshop is designed as an introduction to the world of theatre performance. Using a variety of theatre games, exercises, improvisations, and texts (Hindi and English), participants will be guided through the fundamentals of theatre performance. The teaching approach is inspirational, and philosophical, with emphasis on practical work.
Attendance for all three days required. All attendees will recieve a certificate.
