This course introduces you to the world of physical theatre and helps you develop a deeper understanding of the expressive possibilities of the body. Physical theatre is a unique art form that combines movement, gesture, and expression to tell stories and convey emotions without relying on words.
In this course, you will learn how to use your body as a tool to build characters, exploring a range of techniques and approaches to physical theatre. You will develop your physical awareness, improvisation skills, and ability to communicate through movement and gesture. This course is for everyone interested in Physical theatre – for people with acting experience or no experience at all. Lessons are in English.
The course is taught by Jordy Valderrama, who has gained international education and experience as an actor, mime, dancer, puppeteer and pedagogue.
