Can you, burp the alphabet, sing opera, play the kazoo, decorate a cake, solve a rubics cube, fold a paper crane, dance ballet on point, stand on one hand or make fart sounds in your arm pit? Any skill can be a vehicle for narrative. This master class in physical theatre lead by former Cirque du Soleil performer Jaron Hollander and Emmy Award winner Slater Penney explores how tricks and narrative can be combined to create truly virtuosic performances.
Come with your bag of tricks and clothes you can move in.
