    Healing Through Performance


    Martin Masters
    invites you to an afternoon of
    Healing Through Performance™
    Embracing The Law of Spontaneity & The Art of Improvisation
    Sunday, September 8, in Sebastopol
    Sunday September 22, in Marin County
    We will be moving, dancing, shaping, playing, learning and listening for the creative impulses that propel us into the magical world of Spontaneity. Lose your inhibitions, send your inner critics to their room & open up to a new voice.
    I have been professionally engaged in performing and teaching many concepts of entertainment for over 40 years. There is one element that has both excited me and captured my interest like no other, and that is The Art of Improvisation. And... Improvisation is a learned skill; it is not a talent we were intrinsically born with. (Someone like Robin Williams might just be the exception but just like everyone else he had to first learn the rules).
    We listen… and get out of our own way.
    We Dare to Fail... taking chances, it's liberating!
    Dare to not know... so much can come through us when we are an open vessel
    Make others look good... in turn we create magic together
    Say yes and... continue with the dialogue; a “No” ends the possibility
    Dare to be stupid... let it rip, open our mouths and see what crazy, brilliant stuff can come out.
    I am skilled in facilitating others in these techniques. Please join me on a joyous ride through this fascinating world of Improvisation.
    Martin Masters is a classically trained Mime and teacher of Pantomime. He has been a performing actor for over 40 years and has been main talent in theater, commercials & voice overs, a teacher of improv skills, and is currently a performing member of the Bay Area Playback Theater.
