I truly believe you can get anywhere you need to be emotionally through breath and physicality. Whether you are creating a new character or seeking to explore the extremes of a familiar one, this physical character movement workshop will take you to new heights as a performer and safely bring you home. Learn to access a full range of emotions through character centers, explore the effects of weight, space, and time, and take control of your ability to communicate non-verbally.
What does your body language say? Can you change your mood with breath and movement? You don't need to be a performer to benefit from these exercises.
