Sunday 30th June
10:00am - 4:00pm (with 1hr lunch break at 1:00pm)
This (non-singing) workshop is open to anyone and is BEGINNER friendly.
Ever wondered how some performers just seem to flow with the action? Seemingly appearing in the right place at the right time and owning every move they make? Well, this is what we’ll aspire to in this full day beginners workshop. Honing your individual physical perception skills and ability to “fill the gap” instantly thereby creating balanced, engaging physical storytelling.
In addition to mastering the art of seamless movement, participants will also learn techniques for maintaining stage presence and commanding attention. Through practical exercises and feedback, you'll develop the confidence to captivate audiences with your performance from start to finish. While the workshop is non-singing, there will be piano accompaniment.
