STFU – Silence That Frees Us!
Jazz musicians say “It’s the silence between the notes, that holds the key to all music,” and “it’s all about the notes you don’t play”. So what about the silence between the words of an improv scene, the things we don’t vocalise? Sometimes we can say more with a gesture, a grimace or a smile, or even the way we sit or stand, than any words could convey. This workshop will examine all wonderful things that happen when we say less, and do more.
