Descend into the Dream with Jet Eveleth (June 13th @2pm-4:30pm)

About

This workshop is for performers who are feeling stuck in their head. Created to help improvisers descend into the body and following the moment. It offers a totally different approach that invites the performer to dream and play. The workshop focuses on being present, finding emotional depth and truth. The performer will be invited to bring more authenticity to the stage. This style is derived from the approach of Mick Napier as well as Paola Colletto and Tj and Dave. Open to all levels as the techniques will be new to everyone. “Working with Jet was like 5 years crammed into one year.
