LIVING THEATRE WORKSHOP: PLUME
presented by TRON PARTICIPATION
facilitated by EMMA HAGAN
The idea is inspired by J.L. Moreno's original Theatre of Spontaneity and Impromtu Theatre in Austria during the 1920s and later his Open Psychodrama Sessions which he held alongside his wife Zerka in Carnegie Hall, New York in the 1940-1960s. During this time sessions were attended by, among others, Woody Allen who signed in to each event under a different name; Dustin Hoffman who created and developed his role of Enrico 'Ratso' Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy during his participation there; and Arthur Miller who incorporated the psychodramatic technique of the empty chair in his play 'The Price' after attending Moreno's evening sessions.
Living Theatre invites a public audience to engage with a live theatre event in which they are the creators of the action. Workshops have no rehearsed content, instead the starting point for a session will be a theme, based on a play in the Tron season. The workshop aims to shatter the divide between stage and audience, allowing a platform to explore ideas, feelings and responses to the drama.
These workshops are not acting classes and no previous drama training is required. Workshop participants can choose to be actively involved, offer contributions from their seat or can be silent observers.
