Kinsale Pottery & Arts Centre, Co. Cork
Led by: Marcus Bale
Fee: €60 Inc Light lunch

The use of our body in theatre is a great tool sometimes neglected.
Most studies indicate that approximately 60% of meaning is
communicated through the body. Theatre is, in a basic level,
communication, but in theatre we try sometimes to communicate much
more than everyday life. During this one-day workshop, we will learn
together different methods of expression using our body. The
techniques used range from Improvisation, Clowning, Commedia
dell’Arte, Mime and others. We will cover:

– Body awareness
– Physical Characterization
– Rhythm & Tempo
– Articulation of movement and movement vocabulary
– Visualizations
– The body through the senses
– The body inside our mind and the body outside of our mind
