Upcoming Workshops
THE BODY IS TEXT:
Physical Actor Training
A workshop for actors, exploring rigorous practice informed by The Suzuki Method of Actor Training and new performance methods
In this workshop, we will explore the body as text, discovering profound meaning through precision, presence and collective focus.
We will investigate the ever-expansive capacities of breath, voice, and body for the Actor, informed by The Suzuki Method of Actor Training (Japan), The Method of Theodoros Terzopoulos (Greece) and new performance methods developed by Gina Tay Limpus. Participants will engage in a rigorous, body-centred approach to performance, investigating both the internal and external theatrical landscapes.
Blending structured form with improvisational tasks, this workshop invites performers to expand their physical and vocal vocabulary, and to examine the relationship between discipline, imagination, and collective creation.
Register for drop-in sessions or the full series!

EXPANDING INNER SPACES:
Physical Actor Training
In this workshop, we will investigate the ever-expansive capacities of breath, voice, and body for the Actor. Informed by The Suzuki Method of Actor Training (Japan) and the Method of Theodoros Terzopoulos (Greece), participants will engage in a rigorous, body-centred approach to performance, investigating both the internal and external theatrical landscapes .
Together, we will explore energy generation and transference, both individually and within the ensemble. Through breath activation, collective focus, and embodied presence, participants will cultivate a heightened awareness of their bodies in space, deepen their connection to impulse, and sharpen their ability to communicate with clarity and intention through movement and sound.
Blending structured form with improvisational tasks, this workshop invites performers to expand their physical and vocal vocabulary, and to examine the relationship between discipline, imagination, and collective creation.
