Beneath the Poetry: Magic Not Meaning
Pure Research 2 – Kate Hennig
Research focus
An exploration of the performers’ connection with text, and a search for alternative models of illuminating text in rehearsal. Through exercises designed to deeply integrate performer and the language they speak, the researchers sought a richer interaction between actor and story, and one that could better communicate that richness to our audience.
