The Invisible Dog is thrilled to welcome Niyoosha Ahmadikhoo and her four week long workshop Revolutionary (E)motions.
Revolutionary (E)motions will be a four-sunday-long safe castle to process grown-up dissents through interactive kinetic exercises aka acting techniques developed by various theatre educators such as Jacques Lecoq, Michael Chekhov, Richard Schechner, and more. Revolutionary (E)motions is a cross-pedagogical physical theatre approach to processing socioexistential effects through embodied ephemeral ensemble practices.
