Six week Short Course running on Monday evenings

14th October - 18th November

18:30 - 21:00

Lead by Lukas Angelini, these training sessions explore the Suzuki training method for actors. The training sessions seek to explore the participant’s emotional and physical power and commitment to each moment on stage. Movements are initiated from the core of the body in which the performers increase their relationship with the ground as well as with the ensemble.

The sessions address and develop a variety of skills that are useful for actors of all performance genres, such as physical strength, control and co-ordination, concentration, energy, breathing, voice and spatial awareness. 

 
The sessions are varied and physically demanding. The training sessions will give you insight into a practice that focuses on the process rather than on a fixed end-product. These sessions are suited for both beginners and experienced performers. It helps to come with a ‘beginner’s mind’ as in such a mind are many possibilities. You will be asked to learn a few lines for the sessions, you will need to be physically fit and have a willingness to explore.

Lukas Angelini trained as an actor and movement practitioner in Switzerland at an experimental performing and visual art school in the early 90’s, where he first encountered tanztheater, contact improvisation, alexander technique, feldenkrais and yoga.  He now works as a director, actor, drama facilitator, yoga teacher and is an associate artist of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. He worked with many theatre companies around the world and is especially grateful to the SITI company in New York where he studied the Suzuki training Method for actors and ‘Viewpoints’.
