Al Wunder
Theatre of the Ordinary 

Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 April
and
Monday 9 – Wednesday 11 April

For 35 years Al Wunder has been developing a form of Improvised Movement Theatre that is unique in its teaching of performance as a means of communication between people. His philosophy is that performance is for everyone, not just highly skilled professionals. In a safe non-competitive environment, Al guides participants to allow their thoughts and feelings to be explored in a theatrical setting, through movements, words, sounds, and each individual’s unique way of being in the performing space. The space becomes not something to fear, but a source of power. Performance becomes a showing of, not a showing off.

Find the childlike innocence of exploration and discovery. Experience the fun one can have by being physically articulate.

Al Wunder is Australia's leading teacher of Movement Based Improvisation. Hailed by Ruth Zapora as ''my one & only improvisation mentor'', and no less than a legend on his home turf, Al has inspired performers alongside people from all walks of life in his Melbourne studio for over 24 years.

With an invitation from Janis Claxton, Al Wunder visited Edinburgh in October 2005 and his weekend workshop was a sell-out success. He will visit Edinburgh for the second time in April 2007 (this time in conjunction with Janis & Dance Base) and offer an extended workshop that will lead to a studio performance.  

Participants are welcome to join the two day weekend workshop and there is also an option to continue for three extra days Monday-Wednesday.

Numbers for the second part of the workshop are limited so please book early to ensure a place.
