3 days of group work with Peter Sweet
6-8 August, 2021
Wilhelminenhofstr 91, 12459 Berlin
When you watch a group perform that is really in sync, it can seem like they have one brain and many brains at the same time. The individuals are able to follow their own impulses, yet the group supports every action that happens on stage. There seems to be no leader and many leaders.
When you develop this kind of connection with your partners on stage you unlock a source of collective intelligence that allows you to improvise together and create the focus that makes everything that you do on stage have more impact.
Over three intense days I will work with the class as I would with a professional company, teaching how to develop this kind of group focus in any collective.
We will work on:
“Radical listening” – your super powers of impossible knowing
Instant choreography that comes from collective instinct
Using the architecture of the group to create dramatic tension
Creating silence together on stage
Using rhythm to develop action
Creating focus for a solo in a collective piece
Come alone, or bring your collective.
