Paratheatre Warm-Up Cycle (video clip)
“The Invisible Forest” is full of treasures. It is able to depict those elusive mental states
which prove so hard to remember or describe when we awaken from dreams. This film
incites and dares the viewer to let go of concepts and accept the risky adventure of
following the free, unimpeded energies of the body and mind."

Each session of a ParaTheatrical ReSearch Lab begins with a 5-phase thirty minute physical warm-up. Each 6-minute phase is defined by meeting a specific physical objective in your own way: stillness, spine, core, stretch, and heat.
