October 26th - November 16th

Instructor: Kai Hynes


When an actor is tasked with portraying a monster, creature, or otherwise nonhuman “thing,” what is it that makes them appear monstrous? Is it just CGI or makeup? Or is there more to it? Kai Hynes believes that within each of us lies the potential to become larger, freakier, and even gooier than we appear to be – and that you don’t need special FX to do it. Inspired by his own curiosities in the invisible transformations of butoh dance, the instructor will lead students in crafting full-fledged monstrosities in the span of 4 classes from little more than their bodies, voices, and imaginations. Important questions that every monster-maker should contemplate will be discussed, such as: How does my monster move? What does it sound like? And how many arms - if any - does it have? Get ready to discover your own grotesque answers to these questions, and many more!
