3 Week Program
Movement Directing Workshop
3 weeks, in-class
The workshop is a highly practical and intensive residential lab, where students can expect being involved in the training full day.
You will have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of the actors’ movement, and immediately apply this knowledge.
Working closely with performers from different corners of the world, you’ll learn how to teach them physical language.
Students will be introduced to
Meyerhold's
“Biomechanics“
M. Chekhov's
“Psychological Gesture“
Stanislavsky's
“Physical Action“
Our students are dancers, movers, choreographers, physical theatre actors, contemporary circus performers, musical theatre performers, performance artists from all over the world who wish to improve or diversify their skills and knowledge, as well as practitioners from an allied sport/practice who need a deeper understanding of movement in contemporary performance.
The program includes practice of Tai Chi. The Chinese practice of Tai Chi includes elements of balancing, equipoise and flexibility. Performers practicing these exercises see good results in balance, inner and outer harmony, coordination and persistence.
At this program:
- Bring the living presence into your performances
- Diversify your skills and knowledge
- Enhance your understanding of movement in contemporary performance
- Learn how to shape actor’s physical behavior to tell a story
Students will have a chance to learn the skills needed for professional movement directing and teaching, research how movement practice is taught and how actors and performers best integrate movement processes.
