Eric Garcia is co-facilitating a devised theater intensive at CSU Fresno for the Summer Arts program!
Open to all students, not just those enrolled in a CSU.
SESSION
6/24/2024 - 7/7/2024
DESCRIPTION
Learn from acclaimed dance/theatre artists and receive intensive training in devising techniques developed by award-winning companies including Detour, Mugwumpin, and Tectonic Theater Project. The physical techniques of the movement portion of the workshop will prepare students for the storytelling portion, starting with two movement- based ensemble pieces, before learning the Moment Work Technique: Level 1 (Elements of the Stage) and Level 2 (Writing Performance). Students will be supported in the development of one original solo work and engaged in a rigorous conversation about performance as a tool for social change.
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS
Actors who want to activate their bodies in the creation of new theatre, dancers who want to experiment with narrative and/or dialogue, and performers who want to expand their knowledge of devising and collaborating in an ensemble process rooted in community and social justice.
