This workshop is action packed. The teaching language will be Body and English with translations in Korean when needed.  This is an experiment in intercultural theatre collaboration as Amoeba expects that there will be participants from a variety of countries. This is also a good opportunity to improve your Korean or your English skills as we hope to have an international group of participants.

What to wear? Neutral black clothing suitable for movement. not too loose or you will hide your amazing stories. We will work barefoot. This is the first of a series of “The Poetic Body” workshops that will explore physical theatre. The eventual goal is to create a collaborative performance that will be shared with the Cheongju comunity. Based on the teaching of Jacques Lecoq, “The Poetic Body” Workshops offer intensive training in the creation of theatre that is born from action. Exercises focus on physical dynamics and techniques to help performers create work that is at once playful, emotional and inventive. As the wise Albert Einstein declared, "Play is the highest form of research."

The workshop will be led by Denise Rinehart (click for more info) who is the Artistic Director of Theare Amoeba and presently teaches movement at Cheongju University and directs various artistic projects in South Korea and throughout the planet.
