ACTION THEATER WORKSHOP

Beginning/Intermediate Physical Improvisation
for actors, dancers, teachers, street performers and anyone who likes to play!

Saturday, June 4th - 10:00AM-4:30PM
6205 Detroit Avenue (near Cleveland Public Theatre)

With HANK OBERMAYER
 From the San Francisco Bay Area

ACTION THEATER is a performance and awareness training rooted in 
physical improvisation. It explores the apparent contradiction 
between awareness and spontaneity.

Using exercises to separate different aspects of experience, like 
body, voice and narrative, we are able to pay attention to 
relationship and imagination, and find ourselves in the moment. As we 
learn to recognize our own impulses and take action we begin to 
express the unknown and to encounter magic.

Action Theater can strengthen stage presence, help reawaken the sense 
of play from childhood, and give voice to the subconscious. 
Performances are often compared to the landscape of dreams.

HANK OBERMAYER is a theater artist with experience in physical 
improvisation, spectacle theater, music and creative integration. 
Hank has a deep passion to explore theater's potential for 
transformation. For the last four years he has worked extensively 
with Ruth Zaporah, the creator of Action Theater 
(www.actiontheater.com). He also explores the work of Augusto Boal as 
part of Bay Area Theatre of the Oppressed 
(http://batocollective.org/), and is interested in projects that 
investigate how theater arts can transform our relationships with one 
another.
