This workshop engages the work and teachings of Tadashi Suzuki combined with Shanga’s work both in the classroom and in the profession. Through a finite number of both open and form-based rigorous exercises\, the work focuses on the connection of the foot with the floor\, building strength in the lower body and expressing via the entire body\, not with the face. Strong concentration and physical ease are called upon to do the exercises. When participants push themselves physically—past what they know they can do—they dig deep and access parts of themselves vital in the creative process. When everyone is engaged in the same physical exercises\, each person’s individual humanity is revealed. Sessions run Fridays from 10am-1pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Shanga Parker\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Shanga Parker trained as an actor\, learned directing\, and has taught all kinds of acting.

Perhaps you have committed to writing a play to perform or your memoir? A cookbook or a letter to the editor? Your manifesto\, your bio\, or your grad school application? A grant for your short film\, a novel\, or a book of haiku? \nRebecca Harris continues hosting Study Hall\, a series of informal gatherings for company members to work on writing projects you might have to development. The idea is to support each other in making progress with our work by providing consistent time\, space\, and community\, to use as you see fit. \nThe group will meet Friday mornings on Zoom from 9:00am-11:00am. In each of the daily sessions\, there will be a quick (optional) check in at the beginning. You can feel free to share an intention for the time (or not.) And then work\, cameras on or off. Then reconvene around 10:50am to report back or check out\, which is also optional. \nPlease come and go as you wish and feel free to use the time and accountability in the way that best serves your artistic purposes. \nSessions this month will take place Feb. 24\, March 3\, 10 and 17. RSVP with Rebecca for the Zoom link and join us.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Company CoLabs\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs is a series at The Actors Center that offers a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.
