🦶🏻 Movement for change – Chris Mead

A lot of improv shows are pretty static. There are two people on stage and they are working so hard to be interesting and funny that their feet are seemingly rooted to the spot.

But if you shift your feet, you shift your perspective – it gives you the chance to change your point of view, to feel more, think differently, shake off the status quo.

It also has the added benefit of looking AMAZING.

In this workshop there will be no scenes that take place in the classic improv mode of two people, centre stage, facing each other and talking. We’ll explore ensemble, scenography, physical theatre and natural movement – all in the service of creating beautiful, theatrical scenes that feel alive and in the moment.
