“The Tipping Point” is a movement theatre workshop series and public forum/discussion that demystifies the process of how to create successful social, political, and spiritual movements. This project is based off of Malcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference", eccentrically reversing the phenomenon discussed in John Zerzan's "The Psychology of Mass Misery". Combining Viewpoints, Butoh, Authentic Movement and Theatrical Composition, the workshops expand body memory/awareness while investigating group dynamics.
This project aims to inspire and nurture the formation of a critical mass with a rippling-effect towards positive change.
Besides getting valuable movement theatre training and community building skills, participants will have the perspective-bending opportunity to share their discoveries in a public forum with a facilitated interactive community dialogue. The ideas that arise from the public forums will be collected and distributed to all participants and the attendees of both evening forums.
NOTE: This workshop is great for ALL levels of dance and theatre experience-- from beginners who want to explore their mind-body connection and spatial relationships to embrace the creative self, to the more experienced movers and shakers who want to expand their movement vocabulary and connection to topical explorations.
