Chicago Weekend Intensive Oct 27 & 28, 2018 — wait list only

Viola Spolin’s Theater Games launched the American improvisational theater movement and changed the way acting is taught. Her work has influenced generations of actors and educators. In the workshop with sidecoach Aretha Sills, we’ll explore the groundbreaking exercises and theatrical concepts found in Improvisation for the Theater with an emphasis on the philosophies of legendary improvisation innovators Viola Spolin and Paul Sills, and on applying Spolin’s meditative methods to your work in any artistic discipline. Actors, educators, directors, improvisers, and those who wish to experience more play in their daily lives are invited to attend.

Sign up before Sept 1 for early-bird pricing!

Designed to introduce the key principles of Spolin’s revolutionary acting, directing, and teaching methods in two days, the weekend intensive will help players be more fully present onstage and off.  Beginners and experienced players are welcome.
