About
Julian Spooner takes each participant on a step-by-step journey towards developing a dynamic and ‘cinematic’ solo performance style. Drawing on his training and the techniques employed in his Stage Award- winning performance in
Mistero Buffo, participants can expect to learn exercises which will allow them to embody multiple characters, change physical space in the blink of an eye and cultivate a rich and diverse theatrical world using just their bodies.
Starting at the basis of the Lecoq pedagogy: the 20 movements, the workshop will explore how rhythm and the dynamic of movement can become storytelling tools. Throughout the three hours participants will also develop their understanding of, and ability to use, the language of gesture, learning to create entire worlds, characters and events though gesture and mime. The workshop will culminate in the sharing of individual scenes devised using techniques learned throughout the workshop.
This workshop is ideal for anyone with an interest in solo performance, from experienced actors to students looking to refine their skills.
