If you’ve ever been in audition and realised you didn’t know what to do with your hands – if you’ve ever been working on a scene and didn’t know how to move – if you’ve ever tried to create a character but couldn’t change your behavior – if you have physical habits that get in your way as an actor or if you just enjoy exploring movement, this workshop is for you.
