To truly improvise I must follow what arises inside of the improvisation, not lead it to what I desire. This is where the brilliance comes in. The saying “yes” to each moment as it arises. Unrehearsed Brillance is for all those who wish live more in the present, make clearer momentary decisions and instantaneously compose stunning expression. Starting with physical and mental exercises of the Action Theater™ method, you expand your perception of the present. Once you learn to stay present in challenging moments, the unexpected happens. Change becomes possible, not because you wanted it, but precisely because you have abandoned the need to change. In this workshop, we search for the joy in the unknown, shake hands with the uncomfortable and amplify the magic of creating instantaneous performances out of nothing. More than anything a good improviser has the ability to take risks, to be willing and able to follow the improvisation into the unknown. That “ability,” that able-ness is where the work is.You need to let go of what you think is right and surrender to what you sense, what the improvisation calls for.
