‘In our culture we are used to expressing everything through words, leaving the enormous expressive capabilities of the body in an undeveloped state’ Augusto Boal
This workshop is geared towards practitioners of performance to advance their level of physical discipline. The workshop explores the potential for physical expression through the body and movement, to discover and then challenge the capabilities of your form. We will play with a series of exercises that provoke you to move your body with commitment, purpose and energy in order for you to achieve your creative objectives.
We are focused on relaxation and release; the strength and confidence that will mould the individual performer into a free un-inhibited state of focus and enable the opportunity to act with the instinctive subconscious. We will then begin to explore how the newfound physical dialogue can be used as a method, to enrich the power and intensity of more conventional forms of Drama Theatre. There are many aspects that work of this nature has to offer, many of them personal to the individual and valuable to all genres of expression.
The workshop will stir…
Further confidence in your body and the way it moves, through exploration.
Development of centre.
The release of physical & social inhibitions.
Trust in self and others.
An ability to work in an atmosphere that is highly beneficial to one’s own creativity but also acutely conscious of the creativity of others.
