RealPlay Improvisation is a fun and inventive form that wakes up your body, fosters a group feeling, and brings out the unique gifts of each person. Often stylized or dreamlike, our improvisations include movement, sound, verbal play and dialogue.
From hilarious to dramatic, poetic to poignant, we develop embodied characters, scenes and tapestries of story.
The Mirth factor is high! Yet deep subject matter and authentic expression is encouraged. Your life experiences, tall tales and fantasies are all golden material for this potent human communication and deeply satisfying play.
People of all ages, shapes, colors, abilities, and orientations are welcome.
Julie also offers individual coaching sessions for developing your own performance work, in solo or groups.
