MOVEMENT FOR THE ACTOR with Casey Seymour Kim (Ages 18+)
Mar 25 - May 6
Mondays 6:30 - 9:30pm
7 IN-PERSON SESSIONS
Tuition: $350
This course has been crafted using elements from a movement class that was designed at Rhode Island College in tandem with Jed Hancock-Brainerd, physical theatre artist and graduate of URI and the London International School for the Performing Arts (LISPA). This introductory class aims to help actors of all levels and abilities develop character through physical awareness and exploration. The primary goal of this course will be, as Jed H-B has put it, for students to "begin the daily and lifelong process of both accepting and embracing our bodies as they are, while playfully and joyfully transcending them." Using the pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq and other expressive movement practitioners, students will engage with a series of exercises, games, and guided improvisations to find ways to communicate physically with more efficiency and impact. Students will develop an awareness of one's personal "neutral" body and explore physical expressions of character and story telling. Stretching, constructive rest, and self-massage will help ground our bodies in the moment, release unnecessary tension, and make our arts practice more sustainable over time.
Dress comfortably (no jeans or restrictive clothing) and prepare to work barefoot. (Even socks can be slippery!) If you wish, bring a yoga mat for sitting or engaging with the floor. Otherwise just bring yourself!
