Physical Comedy & Movement
Sundays, 10am - 12pm
April 3 - May 8
$150
Maximum Students: 16
At Jimmy Tingles Off-Broadway
This movement-oriented class is an introduction to
physical character and movement for theatre. All
levels are welcome, as long as participants are
willing to have fun. The object of this class is to
explore the basics of comedic movement, character
vocalization, and theatrical physicality. Each class
incorporates exercises in attention, group dynamics,
isolation, play, observation, rhythm, timing, and
creative vocalization. The class will work towards
character development through observation, mimicking,
and use of stock characteristics, and physical traits.
Please wear non-restrictive clothing (no jeans
please), and either bare or sock feet.
THE INSTRUCTOR:
Naomi Bennett has been a physical comedian and
movement artist for over two years, and before that
worked as a director and producer in the Amherst and
Boston areas, including a benefit performance of The
Vagina Monologues and Vietnam X an original piece
about second generation perspectives on the Vietnam
War.
She has studied Commedia dell'Arte in Italy with
VeneziaINscena, Physical Theatre with Andrew Hammerson
in Montreal, locally with the Stanislavski Summer
School, and earned a degree in Theatre from the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Miss Bennett is
a member of the newly formed Ominous Collective, and
was recently cast as a member of The Tribe. She is
also currently working with the all woman clown
troupe, Only Fooling. You may have seen her
counter-part, Nomi Sparks, as a guest performer at
Traniwreck at Jacques Cabaret. Her theatre credits
include actress and choreographer for Illegitimate
Theatre Company and she was a lead in their musical
productions Mad Maids (based on Genet's The Maids) and
Some of My Best Friends are Men, loosely inspired by
Gore Vidal's Myra Breckinridge
