- **Event Description**: Improvisational training for dancers, musicians and theatrical performers.About this Eventtaught by Shinichi Iova-KogaAuthorized Action Theater TeacherThis workshop integrates physical movement, attention and perception to develop the palpable yet insubstantial quality known as presence. Shinichi’s teaching is rooted in the radical theater and movement innovations of Ruth Zaporah. When conversing with the unknown, who are we? As we enter an unpredictable exchange, what qualities emerge and how do they transform? How do we nourish the skills for clear, decisive and playful responses to the moment?The answers never come. The questions keep the improvisation moving.The content of the improvisation emerges through the endless questioning, endless detail. The quality of attention allows the mind and body to follow changes as they transform moment to moment, transporting us to myriad landscapes. Transformation and transportation become the music we compose with humor, darkness, wildness or subtlety.   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/06710430-0c46-11f1-bef1-5f57dd5c1ffd-rimg-w1109-h740-dc131008-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/06aea970-0c46-11f1-9d1a-cbb202d0aa19-rimg-w740-h740-dceff5f3-gmir.jpg Shinichi Iova-Koga serves as the Founder and Artistic Director of inkBoat.
