Dream Work – Dream Scene – Scene Work

THIS INTENSIVE:

In this 5 day intensive we will create a strong and supportive environment as we explore a single dream in the body, with the group and then turn towards bringing what we found into a scene that will be written, cast, acted and directed – all by you. In doing this we will explore how to implement the tools of Dream Work into the act of making.

OUR MORNINGS:

We will spend the mornings shaking off the daily constrictions and habits. This will open up the possibility for us to feel our authentic feelings and to follow our own images and impulses, dissolving the need to please/obey the other or the culture/the family. We do this by opening the body, voice and breath and working symbolically to untangle and soften narratives that are no longer serving us. From here, we will explore our dreams and creative material in privacy on the mat through gesture, sound, language and the senses.

OUR AFTERNOONS:

For the first half of the intensive, we will explore pieces of the dreams (Dream Marks) by putting them on their feet and working with the group.

In the second half of the intense, we will transition into writing, casting and workshopping scenes born from the material and dynamics and feelings that emerged from the Dream Work.

Our final day, we will mount the scenes and share what we discovered. And dance.

It is a rare and incredible opportunity to explore this work as a group and to help each other illuminate our dreams and creative expression.
