With Walter Thompson, Eric Chapelle and Claude Whipple

Level 4 is the definitive transition from ensemble direction to high-level multidisciplinary composition. Five focused days to become a confident leader with mixed-discipline ensembles—ending with certification and a public showing.

Format & Faculty

• Mon–Wed (Aug 3–5): Core training with Claude Whipple and Eric Chapelle— workbook 3 mastery, training on movement specifics, using space and mastering multi-disciplinary fluency.

• Thu–Fri (Aug 6–7): Certification/staging with Walter Thompson and Eric Chapelle — coaching, Level 4 assessment, and a Friday evening public performance.

What you’ll work on (L2 skillset)

• L1 refresh at tempo: syntax, vocabulary, posture, and general clarity.

• L1 signs for dancers and actors : drilled in isolation, then in real ensemble pieces.

• Compositional form: realtime decisions to serve the general form of a multidisciplinary piece.

• Staying present: remaining open to whatever comes and making it yours. Not dropping the ball.

  Assessment focuses on

  Syntax accuracy across disciplines • clarity and timing while leading • listening and coordination between stage/sound/text • coherent short-form structure • ensemble balance, safety, and readable results.

  Who it’s for (prereq)

  Performers/educators who are L3 (multi) certified or have equivalent experience. Open to musicians, dancers/movers, actors, and spoken-word artists.
