4:00-5:15 Physical Theatre 5 & Junior Company Optional Class – $70month
Teacher: Susan Collard
Description: This class is an exploration of devised and physical theatre that uses techniques inspired by Jacques Lecoq and Mary Overlie and Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints methodology. We are diving into characterization, physicality, and storytelling while finding ways to infuse humor and high stakes drama into original devised work. Devised theatre is a collaborative process in which performers create original pieces through improvisation, experimentation, and ensemble exploration, rather than working from a traditional script. Viewpoints encourages performers to explore movement, spatial relationships, and elements like tempo, shape, and rhythm as tools for storytelling. Lecoq’s approach focuses on the body as the primary vehicle for expression, emphasizing creativity, character development, and ensemble work to bring stories to life.
