Workshop/Audition with Mare Nostrum Elements

Movement Theater Workshop
Two Days ONLY!

May 2, 2010 & May 9, 2010
Sunday 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Mare Nostrum Elements is looking for eclectic and dynamic performers to participate in The Wave Within! Movement Theater training promotional video.

American actor/director Kevin Albert (Boston Conservatory graduate) and Italian dancer/actor Nicola Iervasi (former Martha Graham Ensemble member) developed The Wave Within! Movement Theater training in 2001. They utilized their diversified backgrounds to create this program as a response to the difficulties students often experience when taking acting and dance classes separately.

The Wave Within! is a unique blend of concepts including body conditioning, contemporary dance, physical theater, mime, contact improvisation and custom-crafted experiments. The non-technique-based approach, with Kevin and Nicola’s gentle guidance, makes the training truly experimental and interdisciplinary. They guide each participant step by step through exploration of the movement, editing, self directing, relation to space, interaction with others and performance.
