TheaterSpace in Performing Arts Building A105
Paula Murray Cole will be leading participants and observers in RasaBoxes workshops. Rasaboxes trains participants to work holistically to physically express eight key emotions first identified in the Natyasastra, a Sanskrit text that focuses on theater, dance and music. While a balance in rasas theoretically leads to “santa” (peace, bliss), an exploration of this accessible approach to performance produces work that is visceral and integrates acting, movement and voice to engage the whole performer. The possibilities of rasaboxes are endless, and for the marathon, Murray Cole will establish a framework for the fun-filled activities by developing a process for participant’s conscious physical and emotional relationship to the environment and each other. This context will be carried into each activity throughout the day.
