Combining energy and imagination, students of all ages explore a whole world of physical expression. Students learn to celebrate, explore, and express themselves as they discover the essential tools of physical theatre. The program introduces students to the different facets of physical theatre, including movement technique, creating environment, and observation work. In consultation with the artist, the program can be individualised to connect to curriculum and themes explored in the classroom.
I offer the following in Physical Theatre World:
Week one : Mime
Week two : Physical Movement
Week three: Character Work
