Plasticene Summer Intensive

Plasticene Physical Theater offers one of the most inspiring and most challenging workshops of the summer! Plasticene's Intensive is a great way to get physical with one of Chicago's most critically-acclaimed experimental theatre companies. This exciting workshop emphasizes acting and theater founded in the body, space, and objects. Plasticene's work has gained city-wide recognition as one of the most innovative opportunities for performers and theater students to gain a heightened awareness of themselves and the use of space and the body in theater.

The Intensive is a perfect introduction to the tools and process used to develop Plasticene performances. The process is a mixture of diverse techniques and experiments from Plasticene as well as many traditions including yoga, physical improvisation, corporal mime, Boal, Grotowski, Zaporah, and contact improvisation. This session builds links from physical control to spatial awareness to contact improvisation to object encounters and culminates in group creation. Each day includes a warm-up, technique and improvisation. Live, improvised music accompanies three classes.
