Movement for actors

• Move with an increased sense of physical confidence
• Use timing or spatial or dynamic play to affect expression
• Initiate and follow movement impulses in partner communication
• Use creative improvisation techniques to build a movement scene.

Wear comfortable appropriate clothing that allows for ease of movement.
No shoes required, in fact bare foot moving is advised (slip-proof socks are permissible).
As we engage in some contact work with other students, it is essential to observe good personal hygiene and wear clean movement clothes to class.

There will be solo, partner and group work. The classes are build up gradually, starting with a warm up that prepares for and tunes into the theme of each session.
This process (for the most part) does not require a ‘copy the teacher’ type learning, but instead students are asked to physically engage with and explore given instructions to find a deeper connection into their own body, which in turn will act as a base for communication in pair and small group work.
Regular attendance, punctuality and physical commitment is expected, in order to facilitate progress of class material and team work. Some homework may be given to deepen understanding.
