Re-Purposing Suzuki: A Hybrid Approach to Actor Training

Introduces a system of text analysis that synthesizes physical, psychological, and vocal components in order to truthfully embody heightened texts and contexts.

Takes a primarily ensemble-based physical practice and re-purposing it to give the solo practitioner, or an actor preparing a role in an ensemble without a shared ‘vocabulary’ a means to use a physically based process on their own.

The work is suitable for individual practice, either for creating original work, or for preparing a role while working with a cast that does not have a shared vocabulary or physical/vocal practice.
