TBT/Physical Emotional Connection for Performers
If you want to go deeper and apply Interoceptive Awareness to performance, come for a full week of retreat in the country while training in The Batdorf Technique. This week will deepen specific principles of the technique (tracking detailed interoceptive awareness, juggling interoceptive and exteroceptive awareness, improvisation with others, then applying interoception to set movement and text). We will end the week with an open showing of structured improvisation!
