Finding Characters Through Movement

Finding Characters Through Movement
Led by Ira Siobhan
Sunday 4th March | 4:00-7:00pm | £30 (contact artist directly – email below)
Performance Studio
This workshop combines the skills, techniques and experience that Ira Siobhan has learned from DV8, Punchdrunk, Sally Cookson and Rufus Norris and many others over a 10-year career as an actor and dancer. The session explores freedom, control and physicality to develop characters – using physical restrictions and boundaries as a devising technique.
Performers will use movement to bring new life and meaning to text and characters, taking away techniques to use in future character development and devising processes. Being present and open as a performer is at the heart of the workshop.
The session is suitable to both actors and dancers who are interested in physical theatre.
