Do you want to understand how movement works? Our movement is structured and specific and we can understand how it functions. If you are interested in movement, choreography, acting, performance art, circus, movement therapy, directing or teaching this course can support creative and articulate movement practice for yourself or others.
This 5-day intensive of will be an opportunity to research and explore movement, and to reflect on how an increased understanding of movement can be embedded in your own practice.
Using the clarity of the models of Choreological Practice, our expert teacher will guide you through a week of discovery and insight into how movement expression is controlled, created and communicated. Through exploring, embodying, observing movement, discussion and dialogue, you can gain a thorough introduction to Choreological Practice as an accessible model for understanding how movement works.
No previous experience of movement analysis theories or a specific movement background is required. The course is suitable for practitioners 18yrs+.
