This workshop is designed to give actors, dancers, musicians and any other performers who use their bodies clear and useful tools to create deep and believable characters. The point of entry in this workshop will be the body. We will use tools that have their roots in Laban and Chekhov as interpreted and used by Mariana Taragano in her practice. Come ready to explore yours and your character's mental, emotional and physical selves through three hours of movement. We will aim to enhance your performance's authenticity to create a rounder, more honest performer. a??
