TUESDAY 29 Nov 2011
Dear Guignoler Friends:
RATES WILL SOON BE GOING UP. NOW ONLY $18 FOR 2.5 HRS OF INTENSIVE WORKOUT!
Join us for a physically theatrical workout to get you out of your head and into your body. All levels welcome in an inclusive and safe environment. This is physical theatre: authenticity in a very heightened and physically expressive style. It is ideal for actors seeking to improve movement skills, physical theatre artists just looking to get a 'workout' and non-artists who want to sweat and have fun. This is the only training of its type in Los Angeles and unlike many acting classes, you'll be up and moving far more than watching.
Melodrama is the most expressive of Western theatre forms, closest to the theatrical impulse, based in heightened physical gesture, high stakes, big emotion states, the struggle of virtue and evil ... to music. It is the visceral expression of Artaud's "athlete of the emotions." It's cathartic, powerful and FUN!
Sign up to secure your spot as workshops fill up quickly.
$18/workout. TUESDAY, NOV. 29, 7:30-10. ArtWorks Theatre. 6569 Santa Monica Blvd., LA 90038. No parking in lot. If you would like to join in the post-workout soiree, please bring treats/drinks to share. Classes taught by Debbie McMahon, Artistic Director Grand Guignolers. Feel free to email info[at]grandguignolers.com with questions.  Grand Guignolers' - Absinthe Opium & Magic: 1920s Shanghai. Annie Appel Photography. |
