They will then apply this subtle\, internal physicality to film work in either short scenes or monologues. Using energetics to ground character and circumstance frees up the mind and helps the actor stay connected in the often fast-paced and barely-rehearsed world of on-camera work.

They will then apply this subtle\, internal physicality to film work in either short scenes or monologues. Using energetics to ground character and circumstance frees up the mind and helps the actor stay connected in the often fast-paced and barely-rehearsed world of on-camera work.

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.

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.
