Find out why Zaporah is internationally recognized as a master teacher and performer as the film follows sixteen people through a two-week workshop in New Mexico.Watch how Action Theater™ pushes improvisers to the edge of their creativity. Actors have to move. Dancers have to talk. Complete worlds appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, and yet are somehow linked together in a narrative of vulnerability and dedication that never fails to foreground the people over the process.~ACCLAIM FOR A MOVING PRESENCE~”[A Moving Presence] offers a…flexible program capable of introducing actors to a process-based mode of honing skills….The moving images in this film relay the dynamics of training, the sweat, the failure and the modest breakthroughs. that occur…more closely approximating the in-class environment than any acting manual…Zaporah’s improvisational techniques may be rigorous, but [the DVD] comes with a seasoned professional, Zaporah herself…”- The Drama Review, 54:1, Spring 2010
