Training Jam #4 Sept 20th
Form/Freedom- Create physical, vocal, and spatial forms to free your imagination! This Training Jam will open with a gentle exploration of your mind, body, and spirit to bring awareness to your present self. We will awaken your sense perception through self directed exercises that can be done right from your home. These exercises will strengthen your Ringmaster (observer) and allow you to follow your impulses with more ease. We will then construct gestural forms and imbue them with your creative impulses to inspire improvisational play. Build the form to release your creative freedom! This Training Jam is for performers/non-performers of all levels and backgrounds. All are welcome, no experience is necessary!

June Fukumura is a Vancouver-based, Japanese-Canadian theatre artist with a BFA in Theatre Performance and a Certificate in Sustainable Community Development from Simon Fraser University.
In addition to being the Co-Founder of N(t)TC, June is the Co-Artistic Director of Popcorn Galaxies, an experimental theatre company interested in re-enchanting the everyday through unconventional site-responsive works. Popcorn Galaxies has produced over ten independent productions in five years and has been presented at Centre A, Vancouver Fringe Festival, and BC Culture Days. She is the current Artistic Producer Intern of Theatre Replacement and the Assistant Dramaturg at the Playwrights Lab at the Banff Centre for the Arts. Her practice is a blend of experimental contemporary theatre, site-responsive and site-specific art making, embodied performance techniques, and community engaged theatre and education. She has a deep interest in playing with and subverting traditional theatrical conventions, often blurring the line between reality/fiction and performer/audience in her work. |
More on Training Jams
We have been missing the opportunity to work together in the Studio. So we have decided to move our Training Jams online for this season because we wanna connect and share!
Training Jams Online is our attempt to capture the essence of experimental play that occurs in the studio (that usually command human connection). New(to)Town Collective’s intention is to engage Beyond and Through the screens to catalyze a conscious re-connection to our bodies and psyches.
Training Jams are collaborative, interdisciplinary, and experimental workshops produced by N(t)TC. They are opportunities to cross pollinate training, practices, and ideas between artists of various disciplines as well as non-artists. We like to think of Training Jams as experimental art 'labs' where you can explore and experiment with your own curiosities free of pressures of having to necessarily create 'product'.
It's all about the process!
Regardless of your experience level there is always room to hone your craft. At Training Jams we offer space for exploration, curiosity, and to expand your artistic community.
Schedule for Online Classes:
July 5th @ 7-9pm pst - Davey
July 12th @ 7-9pm pst - Avyen
Sept. 13th @ 7-9pm pst - Anjela
Sept. 20th @ 7-9pm pst - June
Space is Limited to 25. We will be trying "first come first serve" strategy this round. So please sign up early. :) Registration will open a week before each class. Please use the registration form above to sign up!
Requested prep for those participating:
• A computer screen with a webcam or webcam capabilities;
• A space where you are comfortable in and have some room to move in order to do the work (we acknowledge that due to shared spaces during quarantine, you may need to adjust your participation accordingly. Please feel free to participate when you need to.); It is very relaxing and casual (aka stress free) doing this from our own spaces. Enjoy!
• To have some "front lighting" (ie could be a desk lamp or placing yourself in front of a window with natural lighting; love to see your face!)
All donations from our Training Jams will be sent to one of these efforts ( *DTES COVID-19 Relief Fund, *Unist'ot'en Legal Fund, *Hogan Alley Society Campaign) we are supporting. If you would like your money to go to one in particular, feel free to contact us and we will make that happen.
