    Good acting relies on the instrument of our body! In this course we will build a ‘movement toolbox’ that allows the actor to engage with a responsive body to create movement stories, solo and in relationship with others. You will develop ease of expression, presence, physical instinct and spontaneity. Come prepared to have serious fun!
