Adult Bed Midrash "The Martial Acting Jew" with Mark Lesly
Shabbat, Mar 30th 9:00a to 10:00a
Mark Lesly will be teaching. "The Martial Acting Jew" What can we learn about Judaism from The Book of Five Rings, by Japan’s greatest swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi? What insights into opening up for prayer might we glean from the works of Konstantin Stanislavsky, Lee Strasberg and the concepts and techniques of “method acting”? Mark Lesly is an 8th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo (one of only two Jews in the world to ever attain this rank), and was also a student of some of the leading method acting teachers in New York City. Come spend an hour discussing a range of topics that all center around our ability to relax our bodies, focus our minds and open our souls to the miraculous.
