First Impulse: An Introduction to Plastiques
July 19 - 20, 2025 NYC

Acting Rehearsal

Before language, before analysis—there is impulse

This 2-day intensive introduces Plastiques: a precise physical vocabulary that helps performers refine awareness, release habitual patterns, and reconnect with the body’s intuitive intelligence. Through guided movement and voice work with David Prete, participants explore isolation, flow, breath, and presence—building toward a deeper, more responsive relationship to impulse.

No mirrors. No performance. Just breath, movement, and the beginning of the work
