About the instructor:
Polina Ionina is an actor and director whose technique is derived from her work at the Grotowski Institut in Poland, the theater group Dzieci, and various dynamic meditation practices from around the world. Polina believes that trust and play are the most important building blocks of an ensemble, and uses guided improvisations to bring you there swiftly and seamlessly. Whether you are into Shakespeare, devised works, or geared towards on-camera, Polina demonstrates that by focusing on impulses, listening, and improvisation she can show how to turn on the parts of your brain that can help you get out of your own way and play.
