SUMMARY:Wrestling with the Written Word: A Clown & Physical Theatre Workshop with Sheriden Thomas
DESCRIPTION:Wrestling with the Written Word: A Clown & Physical Theatre Workshop with Sheriden Thomas\nSHOW DESCRIPTION: \nIt is\, and is not the words. It’s the situation. \nYou\, your partner(s)\, and imagination in the moment are the situation…. \nWe will be fooling around with written words\, using the Dynamics\, the Complicities\, the Clown Personas\, and the Tension States\, as a fruitful path for mining the physical and the fun. \nVery brief texts of Will Shakespeare & Sam Beckett will be supplied…. \nAnd you can bring your own. \nA monologue\, a scene\, a poem\, a manifesto. \nIt’s all grist\, darlin’. \nARTIST BIO: Over several decades\, Sheriden has acted under Actor’s Equity Contracts in the nation’s regional theatres. Starting in the 70’s\, playing ingénues for the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis to Boston’s Moonbox Productions\, garnering a Boston Critics Award for Kimberly in Kimberly Akimbo. \nRecently\, in film\, she played two old ladies.
