Master Teacher Workshop
A special new workshop devoted to learning the Donlon approach to physical theatre and movement for actors from the perspective of the teacher. Study the complete body of Donlon exercises in detail to be able to teach this time-tested curriculum. Educators will learn the core philosophies of each exercise while adding a personal point of view and innovation. Upon the completion of the workshop, participants will leave with a document detailing the exercises and process. The 5 "books" of study will include mime, neo-classic clown, movement for actors, mask, and devised theatre. Inquire for more information.
