Laura Wickens: Archetypes (1:50 - 3:20)
Layered Archetypes, a
physical and imaginative approach to characterization.
Participants will go
from simple characterizations to complex ones by exploring
stock characters
(e.g. introvert, flirt, coward, etc.) and then adding contrasting emotional,
physical, and spiritual states. Focus will be on each participant's personal,
unique
response to the archetypes and then deepening the original physical
impulse through layered states of being.

Dan Booth Cohen: Constellations for Performers (3:40 - 5:00)
www.HiddenSolution.com
This
workshop adapts Bert Hellinger’s Family Constellation process for
performers of
all disciplines. Family Constellations bring to the surface of
conscious
awareness the hidden ancestral memories held in the body.
Every breathing
individual retains resonance of the pure joy and unbearable suffering
that is
the collective legacy of inheritance. Using a simple and nearly silent
group process, this workshop will deepen perception of the universal storehouse
of sensation. Each taking a turn, we will stand in the orphan’s grief,
the exile’s
lament, the soldier’s guilt, the widow’s anguish, the slave’s
humiliation, the
mother’s anxiety, the father’s emptiness, the child’s
loneliness. At the end, u will
have a deeper understanding of the many
manifestations of love that lay
at the heart of every dramatic story.
