Dancehouse stands on what always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We pay our respects to the traditional owners of this land, the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, to their Elders past and present, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

ActionTheater, created and developed by Ruth Zaporah, is a starting point for body-oriented theatre improvisation; a physical theatre training method and an artistic practice all rolled into one. In ActionTheater, the improviser follows the constantly changing interior of their imagination and responds with movement, sound and/or language. During the training, participants will work alone and with others in physical and vocal exercises.

Exercises isolate and invite exploration of the formal elements: time, space, shape and dynamics. These explorations quiet the conceptual mind and hone awareness. Other exercises strengthen and expand skills of performance: movement, voice, composition, listening and relationship. Participants increase their ability to hold and express emotion, enliven imagination, and recover lost personal material. Every exercise enlightens the relationship between intention, awareness and action as well as engaging the heart and mind.
