RADICAL TRANSPARENCY II with Emma Saunders

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop will take its starting point from the processes behind Emma’s latest work, RADICAL TRANSPARENCY.  The workshop delves playfully into the performers instincts – drawing on the participants long ranting monologues – both of the body and through text.

Participants will develop personal choreographic scores that can be recorded and shared with the group to understand habits and preferences. This workshop will be fun and mad. Expect to be amazed at how entertaining you are – as you flop around on the floor and strive to get up, with laughter and tears, maybe collapse, and ultimately rise up again!
