Description
Writing From The Body: From Gesture to Language
Saturday November 7, 2009
1:00pm–5:00pm
$75 (or $140 for both workshops)

This half day workshop led by Joe Goode is designed to help participants create deeply felt narrative material inspired by emotional impulses found in everyday life: a simple gesture, a sound or bodily configuration. You will learn how to take simple steps toward material that is authentic and original.

Performing Language: Voice and Body Together
Saturday November 14, 2009
1:00pm–5:00pm
$75 (or $140 for both workshops)

This workshop will focus on bringing language (the spoken word) and movement (body language) into a cohesive whole that feels organic and necessary. You will learn techniques such as: Collision, combining starkly contrasted materials to create surprising new meanings and Animation, enlarging or abstracting a simple word or gesture to the point that a character emerges.

Both workshops will be held at:
San Francisco Conservatory of Dance
