Laban Technique for the Actor - Wednesday Aug 16. 7:00pm to 9:00pm

A system created by choreographer, Rudolph Laban, which has been adopted by actors as a movement based training or method. Through Laban the actor becomes aware of their own subtle and obvious physicality in everyday life, forcing the performer to explore a new range of movement. This remarkable style helps actors to recognize and understand where and how thought, emotion and intention live in the body and how it is expressed simultaneously through text and character.

Sticks of Jackie Chan - Friday Aug  18 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Jackie Chan is best known for his action packed movies with their special mix of humor and martial arts. No normal day would be complete for Jackie without defending himself against multiple attackers using only a broomstick, cue stick or some other improvised quarterstaff. This class focuses on employing the staff in the style of the master himself.
