The Physical Actor

Movement becomes poetry, presence becomes power

Studying the Neutral Mask to gain greater control over the body in movement, and bringing a dynamic quality to the actor's presence on stage.

Tout bouge ‘everything moves’

This physical program will introduce students to Lecoq's® insight that tout bouge - 'everything moves' and guide them through a comprehensive journey with practical examples of Lecoq's Mimo-dynamic technique.

Students will learn and develop tools via the neutral mask, improvisation, and movement analysis in how to achieve physical and theatrical presence. They will explore the movements of nature and how they correspond to the movement of the human condition and emotion.
