Substance – Physical improvisation workshop in Tallinn
Advertisement
Play from what's already there – before any idea.
You never start from nothing. Before you invent anything, there is already space, movement, posture, rhythm, a state of emotion. Substance is the work of seeing and feeling what's present, and playing from that, instead of reaching for an idea.
Most improvisers play from the head: decide, then execute. These four hours train the opposite reflex: use your body first, act before the idea arrives. Playing becomes clearer, steadier, more your own.
What we work on:
• perceiving precisely what's already there
• letting the body organise action before the mind decides
• staying with what's happening instead of filling the silence
• playing from real experience, not invention
For performers whose playing leans too hard on ideas.
Patience needed.
——
8 places · 75€ · Saturday 22.08, 10:00–14:00
