TAPS 127: Dynamics of Conflict: Contact and Combat in Performance

How do experiments in movement help artists mine a play for its meanings? How does physical staging illuminate for the audience truths about characters, relationships and the arc of a scene? What can actors learn about themselves and their ensemble through physical improvisation and composition? This course is for students interested in movement and dynamic storytelling; no prior training is required. We will explore the fundamentals of contact improvisation and stage combat as a means of strengthening mind-body connection and preparing the actor for more nuanced, compelling, emotionally-rooted work on the stage. Our training consists of four main components: physical conditioning, practical technique, movement improvisation and the creation of several short performance pieces.
