A little Q & A with Adam Paolozza a propos le Double…
This Fall we’ve got a hit show running, we’re throwing a party to change our name and we’re offering a great workshop with Ravi Jain. |
The Double |
Our acclaimed, Dora award-winning production of The Double is up and running at Tarragon theatre tillNovember 24th – and Tarragon is offering a great 25% discount if you mention receiving a Double post card…Here’s what the critics are saying this time around:“The Double’s exceptionally clever script borrows heavily from Charlie Chaplin […] evoking a sense of timelessness, fate and the surreal that provides a perfect backdrop for this entertaining exploration of identity crisis. 5 *’s” “…brilliant…dazzling…an engrossing, funny-sad study of a man slipping further and further from reality. I’d rush and get a ticket on the double. 3/4 *’s” “…builds to a comedic frenzy and you feel, like Golyadkin, that reality is slipping through your fingers. Solid, zany fun!” “Someone beside me whispered the name Chaplin. It’s no mistake to think of The Double in the same league as those icons. They create characters that are very different from us, like nothing we’ve seen before. At the same time, in the hands of great performers like Charlie, Groucho or the three men in The Double, there is something intrinsic, identifiable and universal we can all identify with. It’s rare and remarkable […] Seating is limited, so make plans to see The Double on the double!” “The music, in collaboration with the phenomenally inventive lighting design by Andre du Toit, make for a sensational sensory experience.” Book tickets HERE now before it’s too late (and don’t forget to mention that 25% discount!) The Double runs until November 24th at the Tarragon Extra Space. ClickHERE for all the details.

The Actor/Creator & The Ensemble workshop |
New Workshop with Ravi Jain and Adam Paolozza December 2-6, 2013The Actor/Creator and the Ensemble 5 Day Intensive WorkshopWhat does it mean to be an actor/creator? These are questions that we encounter all the time from theatre artists who are frustrated with conventional processes and yearn for something more. Artists who wish to create their own work collaboratively but haven’t been exposed to the practical skills involved in such a feat. Our pedagogy is based on the Lecoq training, however, it is a little known fact that 50% of the training at Lecoq is self-directed creation. We will re-create these conditions during this workshop. We are proposing a 5 Day intensive workshop focusing on developing skills that are practically useful in the creative process We will focus on: actor training – based on movement technique and improvisation (how does the actor/creator move and play in the space) This workshop is designed for performers/writers/directors of all disciplines and skill levels who wish to explore their physical presence, improve their ability to improvise and “write on their feet” and develop a healthier ensemble dynamic during the creative process. December 2-6, 2013 Fee: Some scholarships available. For enrolment contact Adam Paolozza attheatrerun.ensemble@gmail.com Location |
