A Wild & Technical Imagination

Training is active, physical, imaginative, and precise. You will work on your feet and seated. You will build, compose, observe, repeat, and make choices.

POWER asks for commitment to an explorative and daring effort. The room is rigorous, generous, playful, and artistically ambitious.

You do not need prior experience with a particular acting technique. You do need curiosity, discipline, and a willingness to work beyond what you already know.

No prior acting experience necessary; all levels welcome!

"The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless."

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau:

TRAINING AGREEMENT

Fully Present. Fully Prepared.

  • POWER does not work from personal memories or histories. During training, we do not direct our attention toward our personal lives, feelings, or belief systems.

• Ritual is observed.

  • The beginning, structure, and ending of the work matter. Our relationship to training is theatre, symbolism, and ritual.
