OTHER TOPICS
Through the years
I've been asked to give workshops on many topics. Occasionally
I have to decline but generally I've been able to build a workshop
around the group's needs. Here are some of the workshops: |
| Mime
for swimmers - expression and movement style |
Improv
for Geologists and Lawyers -
after a three year project they needed new perspective and to let
off steam |
Contact
Impro for dancers and actors -
World dance day needed a way to bring two art forms together with
performers from unrelated fields |
Character
for school -
A teacher needed ways for her shy students to expressive
themselves for the Christmas concert |
Religion
-
Asked to use the topics to liven up a high school religious class
I did two workshops on expression, censorship, understanding and
'being'.
|
Robot
for Disney-
When they needed characters to be Robots I taught
"robotics" on the set of Honey I Shrunk the Kids |
