Course Overview
Take the challenge to get out of your head and into your body!
The Creative Body: The Joy of Play workshop series is focussed on tapping into your creative expression through movement. In Term 4 join Evangelos (Ange) Arabatzis to explore the power of improvisation.
Ange strongly believes in, and is very passionate about, the power of improvisation and its ability to inspire, heal and empower the actor to be braver than they thought possible.
Through understanding and exploring the body as the actor’s instrument we can discover new ways of expressing that require minimal intellectual ‘head work’, and thus enabling the actor to experience new realities through the body.
Ange’s workshops centre around fun and safe improvised theatre games and exercises that are designed to help adults rediscover the Joy of Play and the power that lies therein.
