Cutting-edge Theater Training with foolsFURY

Training for all FoolsFURY is dedicated to providing unique, cutting-edge theater training opportunities to the public. Each year we offer a series of courses taught by the foolsFURY ensemble, and other master teachers from around the world. These explorations expand theater makers’ repertoires, help access the body and voice as a powerful storytelling tool, and unlock new areas of creativity.

Why all the fuss about training? Our credo: on some level every moment of every play should be viewed in the same heightened manner as a musical number in a Broadway show, or an elegant modern dance. Every line of dialogue, every pause, the sound of every foot hitting the floor is the performer’s song. Every movement, every gesture, and every exit and entrance is part of an intricate choreography. Attention and focus are what make stellar theatrical experiences. Rigor, focus, and exploration are what makes brilliant performers.

Past Workshops: In recent years we have taught at universities across the country, as well as at the La Mama director’s symposium in Umbria, Italy. We have also been proud to host such stellar teachers as Mary Overlie, the SITI Company, Stephen Wangh, Michael Lugering, Ron Campbell, and more, teaching diverse techniques including Viewpoints, Suzuki, LeCoq and Grotowski.

Please join us for one of our upcoming trainings – stretch your physical skills and your creative horizons.

The Essential Elements of Acting

Explore Ensemble Acting Through Story-telling about PassoverSUNDAY, MARCH 25, 10am – Noon

Kol Shofar Synagogue, 215 Blackfield Drive, Tiburon CA 94920

How can I bring more of my true nature into everything I do?

The essential elements of acting aren’t limited to the theater. We all need to learn how to think on our feet, embrace our creative ideas, and listen attentively in our professional and personal lives.  Use the transformation story of Passover to launch your own personal stories through theater improvisation games, vocal training, song and movement to gain expressiveness, expand self-confidence and learn how to embrace strong choices. You will emerge with a greater sense of self and your place in your community.
