Across the Universes
Saturday 29th June
10:00am - 4:00pm (with 1hr lunch break at 1:00pm)
This INTERMEDIATE (non-singing) workshop is open to improvisers with at least 2 years of improv experience.
A workshop that will elevate your body and blow your mind. Embark on a journey where you'll immerse yourself in the physical, surreal, poetic, and theatrical world of Latin American improvisation through practice. You'll acquire tools that will enhance your stage performance: scene editing, musical poetry of the body, and the gesture bridging acting and dance. While the workshop is non-singing, there will be piano accompaniment.
Class Size: 12
Omar Argentino Galván. Globetroter improviser. He is a prominent figure in the Spanish improv scene. He is dedicated to his roles as an improviser, teacher, writer and creator of improv formats. Galván is the author of the Impro Handbook titled 'From the Jump to the Fly' ('Del Salto al Vuelo') and the text 'YES, BUT: Improv at its Crossroads.' His work in classes and on stage is characterized by a personal poetic style, blending elements of magical realism and theatrical narrative—resources seldom utilized in improv theater. Through his relentless Improtour, he has performed on five continents, spanning over forty countries. Galván serves as a bridge builder among improvisers worldwide. He united the world of improv with Soundpainting (by Walter Thompson) playing with singers, dancers, musicians, improvisers, and artists from different disciplines.
