The Improvising Body

The Improvising Body Fran Pollitt

Sebastián Calderón Bentín

This workshop offers a practice and philosophy of movement that translates into a technique for 1) the training of performers and 2) the creation of movement or action on stage. Isolating the performer’s experience into six principle languages, the work builds deep ensemble awareness, develops intuition, increases strength, flexibility and attention to detail. This workshop is aimed at actors, dancers, choreographers and directors alike.
