Course Outline

So what is movement anyway? Discover the answers during this week-long choreology intensive, based in our world class studios at the Laban Building.

The week will be an opportunity to research and explore movement and reflect how this can be embodied in your own practice. It will significantly change and improve your creative practice. There are eight bursaries available to cover the entire costs of the intensive.

The week will include

An introduction to innovative and exciting choreological practice
Creating, performing and observing movement
Discussion and dialogue
An exploration of current developments of choreological movement theories and their specific application to contemporary performing arts disciplines

Who is this for?

The course is suitable for practitioners, 18yrs+ from different backgrounds and disciplines, interested in movement, choreography, acting, performance, circus, physio and directing or teaching. No previous experience of movement analysis theories is required.

Join us on the journey to reveal fascinating insights about what we look at when we watch performance and how expression is controlled, created and communicated.

“Fascinating, absorbing and exciting. The choreological understanding will change your professional practice significantly”
