About Die-Cast & Training:

Die-Cast believes in the Collective Creation process. Rather than following a traditional subscription model, Die-Cast incubates work within spaces that are normally inaccessible to audiences. We look to fill those spaces with the work and have the work shaped by the space in turn. The space itself is as central to the project as the text and performer. Artists have fluid boundaries based on their particular skill set and interests. Performers, designers, and director are encouraged to write and create each piece to ensure that every project is a unique expression of the exact bodies in the space. In order to support our creation process, Die-Cast uses a shared physical vocabulary between all project artists. We feel that these are the cornerstones in opening up nontraditional spaces for performance. https://www.die-castphilly.org/

Die-Cast has a training method that focuses on:
Physical Flexibility and Specificity
Core Breath Support
Vocal Resonance
Kinesthetic Awareness
New Work Generation
