We’ll work both in Double Edge’s indoor training spaces and outside in the fields, hills, pond and pastures of the Farm. Layering our physical training practice with music, design, dramaturgy, large object work and individual and group research, intensives are a full-body experience of our multidisciplinary creative process.
We explore the dialogue between individual process and group training and creation. The intensives are open to participants of all levels of experience and are ideal for pushing the boundaries of your physicality, creativity, and imagination!
Training programs contain the following elements:
Physical Training
Involving a total body experience including running, partner work, and work with large objects. Although vigorous, the process allows any participant to fully engage.
Improvisation
Which is a combination of individual creation and group work. Improvisation allows participants to build a world of the imagination, and includes work with large objects, music, art, video, and other elements.
Etudes and Presentations
Created from improvisation and individual work; scenes are created and built using music, art, video, dance, and character to create a unified piece. The goal is to translate training into a devised work process.
The vulnerability I experienced during training with Double Edge both humbled and empowered me as a performer and artist. I took away an entire arsenal of tools and ideas, a fresh perspective on theatre making, and a deeper sense of self than I've felt in a long time. I am already looking forward to when I get to step into the world of Double Edge theatre once more.
— Tanya, 2018 Winter Intensive
My training at Double Edge Theatre was exactly what I needed. I came to Double Edge to become a better performer, I left a better person. I will be forever grateful.
