“The archetype work is a wonderful way to open the creative imagination and allow students to explore possibilities. It also builds confidence in making solid and distinct character choices when approaching a role. Archetype exploration is a great way for beginning and experienced students to add variety to their approach to character development.

Since exploring archetypes involves the whole body, voice and imagination, there are many times that workshop participants experience parts of themselves that they didn’t know existed.” Tiza Garland, Movement Specialist at the University of Florida
