ABOUT PERFORMANCE
The Energy of Creativity
This masterclass is looking closely at the process of making a performance; it studies the anatomy of a creative act. Through working together the participants will make a collective attempt to grasp the essence of improvisation and partnership, as well as various other skills that help to create a production that’d fascinate the audience. The students will explore this very basic vital energy exchange, as we call it now, or in the words of Stanislavsky, the process of absorbing and emitting the beam.
