Professional Actor Workshops at The Lir
Movement for Actors
by Sue Mythen, Movement Teacher at The Lir.
This workshop is open to performers of all levels and will be an introduction to physical awareness, gesture, impulse and spontaneity. Awareness of the body will be through basic yoga technique, Feldenkrais, breathing exercises and simple movement improvisation.The course will develop towards recognising habits and patterns in movement with basic movement analysis techniques and you will learn how to unlock these habits to create new opportunities in movement and gesture. The creative and dynamic exercises will improve spinal awareness, breathing techniques, freeing muscular tension and will be the basis of finding a greater range of movement with a more fully expressive and articulate body. The
aim is to master the communication of precise and clear meaning with gesture, movement quality and emotion for the actor.
