Workshops and Training
Heather offers private training for students of all ages in Physical Theater Improvisation and Action Theater™. Her workshops utilize Action Theater technique, movement improvisation, kinesthetic awareness training and other media including music and writing to cultivate articulated and clear bodily expression.
Training is focused on helping students free themselves from habitual movement patterns and explore the joy of spontaneous expression. Heather guides students through the deconstruction and integration of language, sound, and movement. Methods for honing the physical and vocal skills necessary for clear and artful performance are clear and concise.
Exercises often begin with movement, build to sound and movement, and then focus on narrative. No previous experience in dance, music, or theater is necessary. All you need is a body you live in and the desire to play.
Training can be adapted to all levels of experience, skill and physical capability. Heather provides training via private instruction, master classes, semester blocks and intensive workshops. If you are interested in offering a training at your school or studio, please email your inquiry to improvdiva@gmail.com.
Currently, Heather is offering monthly intensive Action Theater training in Charlottesville, Virginia. Hours can be accumulated towards Action Theater™ Certification. For more information on workshops and registration please email improvdiva@gmail.com
