Kari and company members also lead workshops in New York City and Minneapolis as well as internationally.
The Performing Company
Under the creative guidance of Kari Margolis and Tony Brown the company has achieved both critical and popular acclaim for its signature physically-charged approach to theater. Known for spectacular ensemble imagery, a rapier wit and the marriage of cutting edge multimedia technology with a muscular and emotionally rich acting style, the company creates original thematic productions that Alan M. Kriegsman of the Washington Post hailed as... "so exciting, so original, so unexpected it renews your faith in the artistic future".
Margolis Method Training Center
The perfect place to hone skills, take artistic risks and interact with artists from around the world. The Center offers the opportunity to work intensively with master teacher Kari Margolis in an intimate setting. In a challenging yet supportive atmosphere students are encouraged to explore new modes of accessing creativity. Classes merge vocal and physical expression through precise yet organic daily exercises that focus on the actor as central to the creative process. The skill sets of actor, director and playwright are merged to develop a powerful three dimensional theatre artist.

The River Valley is home to bald eagles, great canoeing, fishing and swimming. Evening activities include lectures, video showings, performances--and a good deal of barbecuing!
