Actors and performers from across the world take part in a devising intensive workshop at the Celebration Barn Theater in South Paris. The barn was started by world famous mime Tony Montanaro in 1972 as a workshop and teaching space for aspiring artists. Montanaro has since died, but the space and its function remain the same.

In this particular scene, Lane was partaking in physical theater based on the Civil War, where students bend, twist, and shape their bodies in unison.

Johnson is the residential manager at the barn but also takes part in the classes.
Karen Montanaro, an instructor in the devising intensive workshop at the Celebration Barn Theater in South Paris, and Davis Robinson, also an instructor, show students how to share weight with one another while performing physical theater. Montanaro's former husband Tony Montanaro was a world famous mime and founded the barn in 1972 as a teaching ground for artists from around the world.
