| Summary |
"For the very first time on video, A moving presence offers a glimpse into the entertaining and challenging improvisational world of Action theater and the spirit and wisdom of its founder, Ruth Zaporah. Find out why Zaporah is internationally recognized as a master teacher and performer as the film follows sixteen people through a two-week workshop in New Mexico. Watch how Action theater pushes improvisers to the edge of their creativity. Actors have to move. Dancers have to talk. Complete worlds appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, and yet are somehow linked together in a narrative of vulnerablility and dedication that never fails to foreground the people over the process."--Container |
