Ever feel rushed to be ‘on’ in a moment’s notice or experience uneasy transitions from everyday life to on-stage or jumping from one set to the next? Wonder how to take better care of yourself as a performer and move with intention throughout a scene? Wished your physical character choice wasn’t so exhausting? (We’ve all been there.)
This workshop teaches mindfulness techniques to practice before sets as a tool to ground yourself as a performer and during sets to better pace your scenes, body awareness for heightened stage presence and exercises of how to safely engage in movement to explore physicality to bring characters to life.
Get ready to wear something comfortable to move, stretch, breathe, and laugh in.
