What is the Purpose of the Workshop?

In the past, magicians have had few resources available to learn theatre and movement skills. This intensive, structured course has been tailored to magicians, and is intended to help them effect real, hopefully lasting, change.

Exactly what it the Workshop?

The session includes daily yoga, movement, speech and acting classes. Evening performance class consist of hands-on direction of each participant to be observed by the entire group. Personal sessions are videotaped, and participants are given the tapes of themselves to keep and refer to after the workshop.

This is a participatory workshop. It will be fun, exhilarating, but also challenging. While the environment is warm and supportive, and major breakthroughs will occur, you should not expect the work to be easy or necessarily entirely comfortable.

When is the Workshop and how much is it?

Tuesday April 10 - Saturday April 15 from 9 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.
Cost will depend on the number of participants. The more participants, the less the fee. The workshop will be limited to no more than 7 participants.

Bob's workshop in Canada this past summer was, without doubt, the very best investment I have made in magic. If you have the chance -- DO NOT miss this!
