A rare opportunity to study in LA with one of Third Rail Project’s artists. Two nights at Thymele Arts, available as a pair or night by night.

Official Description Follows:

This workshop offers an exploration of the unique performance and directing skills that come into play when the audience and performers are not separated by a fourth wall. Taught from a movement perspective, this workshop is for actors, dancers, and creators of experiences in all mediums who are interested in making creative decisions through the use of intelligent, empathetic physicality. Participants will have the opportunity to deeply examine their relationship to space, to other performers, and to interactive audiences of various sorts, from the ambient, shifting landscapes of site-specific work to the intimacy of one on one immersive theater.

Day one will focus on somatic practices to open our senses, hone our physical listening, and keep us connected to the present moment. Day two will focus on crafting the audience experience.

Rebekah Morin is a longtime performer and creator of immersive and site specific theater. As a collaborating artist of Third Rail Projects since 2010 she has created many roles including the Red Queen in the Bessie Award winning Then She Fell and the recent critically acclaimed Ghost Light and Behind the City. She was assistant director of TRP’s Sweet & Lucky (Denver 2016). Ms. Morin began her career as dancer, touring with Jody Oberfelder Dance Projects and The Equus Projects, with whom she trained in the Parelli technique of natural horsemanship and created site specific works for humans and equines. She has been a teacher of movement techniques for dancers, actors, and equestrians nationally and internationally. She is also a registered yoga teacher and certified in thai massage. Ms. Morin’s workshops impart practices of deep physical listening and empathy to cultivate connection between the creators, performers, and audiences of interactive theater.
