Improvisation for Rituals
Presented by Kirk Everist.
How do you warm up for a ritual? Improvisation for the theatre is fundamentally directed at building openness to connection between participants and each other, their environment, and their audience. Comedy is often a consequence, but not necessarily the primary goal. This workshop will explore several very basic theatre games that can be used to prepare participants for active, engaged, creative, and passionate ritual practice, primarily concentrating on how players connect with each other and their context. If time allows, we’ll also discuss how to modify or create new exercises specifically for ritual use. No experience is necessary, but there is some movement involved.
