Theater Workshop
Collective Voice/Collective Vision:
a two-day intensive in storytelling languages and the chorus
May 12th-13th 2012
Tiverton Four Corners, RI
The Four Corners Arts Center is hosting a two-day workshop for performers, theatre-makers, storytellers and artists. Discover the power of the theatrical masses while collaboratively creating dramatic action through movement exercises, theatre games and improvisation. Local physical theatre company Strange Attractor will ask you to recreate a Hollywood blockbuster, become an expressionist painting, be part of a voice with seven bodies, and harness the energy stirred up when a group of people play in space together.
Whether you are an actor, a storyteller, a dancer, or a writer interested in pushing your creative frontier, this workshop will challenge you to find richer dynamics, increased sensitivity, a greater state of play, and deeper expression in your work.
The workshop runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, May 12 and Sunday, May 13 at The Four Corners Arts Center. This workshop is free of charge, thanks to support from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts and The Four Corner Arts Center*. Advance Registration is required. 15-person limit. 21+ age requirement. No previous performance experience necessary. Participation at both days is required to attend.

Aram Aghazarian, Jed Hancock-Brainerd and Rebecca Noon met while studying at the London International School of Performing Art (LISPA). In 2010 they co-founded Strange Attractor Theatre Co and have since created four shows: F.orward O.perating B.ase (Perseverance Theatre, Juneau, Alaska), Special Happy (Perishable Theatre), If You Shoot a Boot You Might Get Wet (Perishable Theatre with Rompecabezas Teatro), and A Terrific Fire (developed with Perseverance Theatre in Juneau and Perishable Theatre and 95 Empire/AS220 in Providence).
*This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
