RealPlay
MovementTheater
“A fun and inventive form that wakes up your body, fosters a group feeling, and brings out the unique gifts of each person.”
From Hilarious to Dramatic, Poetic to Poignant
Often stylized or dreamlike, our improvisations include movement, sound, verbal play and dialogue. We develop embodied characters, scenes and tapestries of story.
The Mirth factor is high! Yet deep subject matter and authentic expression is encouraged. Your life experiences, tall tales and fantasies are all golden material for this potent human communication and deeply satisfying play.
People of all ages, shapes, colors, abilities, orientations, quantum states and genderalities are welcome!
