CLASS DESCRIPTION: 

The workshop will be based on physical theatre exploration - the connection between intention/emotion and movement. Participants will be encouraged to investigate further their own individuality through different improvisation tasks and games. To expand our performativity and creativity, we will practise two approaches, equally valid for a creative process - physicality evoking intention or emotion/thought embodiment. Through a playful and open environment, we will challenge our movement habits and develop a strong sensibility for detail and authenticity in the physicality.
