Get out of your head! Have a Dance Rehearsal!

[Mary Archbold]

Dance for Improvisers! Hire me to coach your team or
group for a great one time rehearsal.

Do you shy away from dancing on stage? Never join in
group games that are movement based? Are you looking
for something to break your team out of a rehearsal
rut? Then I am the right coach for you.

So often, we approach scenes and shows from our brain
and ignoring the rest of our body. You can use your
physicality to establish character, find the game of a
scene and to create a real relationship. We will work
on using the body from top to bottom. Learn everything from simple
stretches to get the blood pumping before a show to
performing what would appear to be a choreographed
dance in a show.


Me: A professional dancer, actor and improviser who
performed at ImprovOlympic in Chicago for 4 years.
Conducted this workshop with such groups as Carl and
the Passions, People of Earth and the Pat Shay
Dancers. I also choreographed many of the shows that
performed there such as Honor Finnegan, The Fandom
Menace and many Holiday / Halloween shows. This
workshop was recommended by Charna Halpern to all the
teams at IO.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or set up a time at
917.698.0969 or at maryarchbold@yahoo.com.

It's a one time deal, standard coach fee.

She's got the goods

For those of you who don't know Mary, she's a real ace - especially when it comes to movement and dance. (Of course, I think so: she's the love of my life - but still... I've heard from a lot of excellent improvisers about how helpful this workshop has been to them and their teams - especially folks who had always been stationary, "heady" performers.)

It's a great aspect of improvising that we all tend to forget about when we're on stage - and she teaches a tight, one-time workshop.

If you're going to be missing your coach for a week, give her a call. She will help you.
