Performance Lab

The Performance Lab is a class/workshop in Movement Theater for teachers, therapists, performers, coaches and anybody else who wants to develop themselves as artists, performers and Human Beings.
The Lab provides an environment for participants to develop skills for ones personal creative process through performance.

The process works through both improvisation and exploration. Improvisation is a powerful metaphor for life. Studying improvisation provides a vehicle to study who we are in the present moment, and to develop ourselves through being awake and present in the moment. Exploration is a development and refinement of the material that arises from the Improvisation process. Exploration allows us to shape and deepen our material.

Soto subscribes to the theory that creativity goes to the very core of what it means to be human, and when we are involved in the creative process we are anchoring ourselves in our humanness.

Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.

Movement is life. When we move with consciousness and intention to express who we are, and invest ourselves in our movement, then we are celebrating life and the life force that flows through us

The Performance Lab is theater-based in movement. Movement anchors and centers us in our bodies and in the present. Additionally, the lab includes voice work and the spoken word.
The spoken word includes improvised text, as well as, developing our personal stories and myths.
