Archetypes are universally recognized patterns, images, and figures that are part of our collective unconscious. These symbols and beings appear in our dreams, stories, myths, art, and religion, guiding and helping us make sense of our inner and outer worlds.
Join us for an uplifting, otherworldly experience as we explore collective dreams, global archetypal figures, and spiritual experiences through experimental theater. Working and playing together as a dynamic creative ensemble, we weave together live music, sound and vocal improvisations, improvised movement, choreography, and community healing arts practices to cocreate an immersive theater dream world, bringing our deep spiritual presence into our creative practice.
Through the theatrical explorations of archetypes, mythologies, and dreams, we explore different realms and beings—from earthly to the ethereal. Our work together culminates with a live immersive theater performance through a series of multidimensional vignettes.
During the week, you learn to:
- Work and move together as one large creative ensemble
- Create music through vocal and sound improvisation
- Develop choreography
- Develop character archetypes and myths
- Practice the art of presence and stillness in performance
- Engage in creative structured improvisations (musical, movement-based, gestural, and theatrical)
- Strengthen personal expressiveness through the body, voice, and spirit
Bring home a sense of community and connection through rigorous work and play within a large ensemble. You weave together many art forms into one practice regardless of previous experience, combining music with movement, movement and music with acting, spiritual presence and practice with performance art.
Please note: This workshop is open to all experiences and backgrounds, including those experienced in music, dance, movement, theater, and visual arts, as well as those who have no formal training or experience in any of these fields. Creativity is for everyone. All are welcome.
