PlayMoves - Movement Workshop for PerformanceFacilitated by Anna Yen
June 14-16, 2024
9.30am - 4.00 pm
This workshop is for performers, actors, singers, circus performers, clowns, musicians, dancers, performance devisors, directors and drama teachers.
The program includes:
• games to invite our playfulness and the pleasure to be on stage
• performance exercises to explore what it means to be present and in complicity with other performers
• movement sequences from the Feldenkrais Method designed to heighten the perception of one’s self-use, invite an organic sense of movement with more ease, and to explore options.
• rhythm as a foundation for creative play
• a beautiful writing exercise that begins from the physical
PlayMoves is facilitated by performer and Feldenkrais Practitioner, Anna Yen. It is inspired by the work of renowned European theatre teacher Monika Pagneux. Our quest is to awaken the performer, inviting the attentive and joyful performing physical presence that marries risk with vulnerability and self-confidence with authenticity.
