"The Four Articulations" Keys to Enhancing Theatre Workshop with Dr. Ira Seidenstein

"The Four Articulations" starts with a normal physical exercise that

many people have been 'taught' in theatre. With this first exercise

Ira reveals the hidden mechanics and introduces a concept of "Weight

and Wait". Here he shows how this first exercise can try the actor to

be 'in' their own body and how that will directly enhance ones acting.

This understanding then gets incrementally tested until the Space-Time

Continuum exercises test and practice the whole gestalt. These

exercises also show the relation between the yin/yang of

comedy/tragedy or acting-and-clown. In one sense, if we broaden our

sense of what a good actor is, then we might include Robin Williams,

Sex And The City, Sasha Baron Cohen, Little Britain. Auteurs such as

The Coen Brothers, Woody Allen, Barrie Humprhies, Bill Irwin, Mike

Myers and many others also show us the deeper connection between

acting-and-clown. Either way, acting or clown, it is "actor's body in

the space of the theatre" that brings the text alive.

This workshop isolates specific techniques and principles that can be

applied and adapted to any play, playwright, director, or artistic

aesthetic. At the same time an actor can use any method in which they

have already been trained.

Ira has taught at Australian national institutions including NIDA,

NICA, WAAPA, Bell Shakespeare Company and The Actors Centre.

Internationally he was worked with Cirque Du Soleil, The San Diego

Repertory Theatre, The Eureka Theatre of San Francisco, The Commedia

School in Scandinavia, and he is mentor to a wide range of theatre

practitioners including Ponydance of Ireland, The Improfessionals of

Paris and amongst the Australians he mentors are physical duets The

Crackup Sisters and The Tutti Frutti.
