Extension Programming: Jeu Gymnasium with Faysal Dakni (Copy)

  • Asian Arts Initiative (Black Box Theater) 1219 Vine Street Philadelphia, PA, 19107 United States (map)

An hour-long playground where performers meet as an ensemble to explore the jeu (play), sweat, and celebrate the dramatic impulse. In this gymnasium, through the practice of ensemble-play, performers awaken their physical instruments, becoming curious, open, and present.

Faysal Can Dakni is a theatre maker, performer, and educator specializing in physical theatre, clown, improvisation, and ensemble-based creation. A Fulbright scholar, he earned his MFA in Devised Performance from the University of the Arts / Pig Iron School. He is currently a full-time faculty member at Bilkent University, creating original, ensemble-driven performances for stages and festivals.
