THR 155 - Movement for the Actor

Course unit(s): .5
This course is designed for actors of all levels and is intended to help actors build a tension-free, resilient, expressive, present physical instrument.  Presence, space, play, shape, energy, relationship, strength, release, breath - these are all essential elements of the actor’s process that reside in and radiate from the body.  We will explore these elements as an ensemble and create both ensemble and individual pieces that utilize these elements as tools of storytelling.  Along the way, we will build awareness of individual actor tensions and habits and explore ways to balance and organize the body.  Exercises will be drawn from Frantic Assembly, Ruth Zaporah, Viola Spolin, Annie Loui, Viewpoints, yoga, contact improv, Rudolf Laban, and more.  No prior movement or dance experience is required.  This course is open all bodies of all abilities.
