Movers and Shakers

This highly energetic two hour weekly class is designed to ‘turbo-charge’ your acting! 

The Suzuki Method of actor training is a world-renowned technique that develops physical and vocal presence, precision and power. Train with and alongside some of Australia’s most experienced Suzuki practitioners in these action-packed workshops.

The Suzuki Method is physically intensive with adaptations available for different levels of fitness and ability.  The goal of the training is to work at your own ‘edge’, whatever that may be. The teachers will provide adjustments for participants as needed throughout the course.

Viewpoints is a post-modern acting technique that merges the physical and the psychological. Going beyond the traditional method of actors exploring their motivation, Viewpoints training provides a way for actors to explore their embodiment and movement. The practice cultivates instinct and kinaesthetic response, as well as heightened awareness of space and time and how they relate to performance making.

Viewpoints culminates in a public performance in our Black Box Theatre.

Emma Louise Pursey has trained with Oz Frank, SCOT and Ellen Lauren of the Saratoga Institute of Theatre (SITI) and has created exercises that give the method a contemporary spin.  

Selene Beretta has trained with Anne Bogart and the SITI Company ensemble in New York City as well as Saratoga Springs and includes Viewpoints explorations in her Suzuki Classes.
