Theater Du Jour invites you to participate in an introductory workshop:

Working with a Repeatable Score

As we begin planning for another company-created performance, we are offering actors interested in our work an introduction to the principles practiced by Theatre Du Jour. Using prescribed short scores of action participants will explore the abundance of possible variations within a limited amount of material. Utilizing basic treatments such as speed, size, tension and direction the actor takes control of the material and discovers how it can be used to influence group improvisation as well as be influenced by other’s proposals. Through the deconstruction of limited physical actions which are in turn developed and reassembled within this process, the actor can find the sense of their actions and thereby further contribute to the possible significations of their actions within the improvisation. This workshop is useful for actors of any skill level or genre. It is appropriate for all ages and physical types.

This is a five session workshop, with two four-hour sessions and three three-hour sessions. The schedule is as follows:

Sunday, February 6, 4:00 – 8:00 pm
Monday, February 7, 6:30 – 9:30 pm
Tuesday, February 8, 6:30 – 9:30 pm
Thursday, February 10, 6:30 – 9:30 pm
Sunday, February 13, 4:00 – 8:00 pm

The fee for this workshop is $100 which is to be paid in full at the first session and is non-refundable. The sessions will start and end promptly.
