Double-Edge Inspired TrainingDouble Edge Theatre in Massachusetts has developed a unique,
ferocious, sweat-intensive training/improvisation/material channeling
method for creating their original, world-acclaimed theatre. The work
that they do has been describe as "transcendent" and also compared to
a "controlled hurricane." This class will function as a lab in which
we will explore some of the technique that the instructor learned
there through her two summers in residency with the company.
Taught by Alissa Mortenson. 2 night series - March 30 and April 3. $36
Regular, $29 TPS, $60 for two students when you sign up with a friend.
