action theater
Action Theater is an improvisation method created by Ruth Zaporah. Through a vast catalog of exercises, it builds an elegant and pragmatic toolset for the improviser to refine awareness, choice, and articulation.
The practice develops the precise skills of expression and performance in the action of the body, the quality of timing, vocals, and the content and style of the text deliveries. It expands the imagination through training a continuous, spontaneous collaboration between the sensational bodily experience and the imagination.
Following the moment-to-moment experience, the improviser gives form to the embodied manifestation of our internal world through the language of the body, voice and words.
