interaction in performance.
This introductory workshop
presents exercises from the training

Emotional Interplay, and
Crafting a Scene
From the dramatic power of
stillness through the seven levels of

play the principles of the
introductory workshop, and
explore further concepts in
exercises and in the context of
small group scenes developed and
crafted as in a working rehearsal
process.
