The Twenty Movements is a series of movement puzzles that engage the body, mind, and spirit in a playful exploration of the Lecoq School’s core principles. Considered one of the most influential theatre schools in the world, Lecoq graduates have re-shaped our modern view of theatre. Sessions will be led by Graham Percy, who trained at the school in one of the last classes to study directly with Jacques Lecoq.
Red Nose Clown is about finding your pleasure to play and honing your ability to be open, vulnerable, sensitive, human and ridiculous. What is in your way? What is standing between you and your ability to be present? You find your clown by listening to the audience. What draws them in and what pushes them away? John teaches in the tradition of his master teacher Philippe Gaulier. This study is for actors and anyone interested in developing an engaging presence and a pleasure to play.
