Physical Play: Embodied Action & The Art of Making Something New

This course explores the actor’s capacity for play and the idea that games provide theatrical moments of truth and joy. Through a continuum of games, improvisations, and devising activities, students will develop a vulnerable and egoless state of existence that empowers them to take risks, access their imagination, and play more fully with their voice, body, and mind. Exercises explore physicality, vocality, status, focus, scale, presence, flow, and impulse while immersing participants into a state of “le jeu,” or the pleasure of playing.
