The body doesn't lie.

Not on stage, and certainly not in movement theater. This isn't about pretending, but about empathizing, being, and becoming.

This time, Sarah focuses extra on in-depth tools for improvising on stage. The basic ingredients remain simple: your body, the space, time, and your imagination. We blend in experimentation in the form of images, themes, sounds, words, and each other. As a group, you learn to sense each other, respond to each other, and create group compositions through viewpoints and other improvisational scores.

You throw yourself into the fray, are surprised by what emerges on the spot and what we can build on to create exciting theatrical scenes. You will also discover your individual qualities as a mover/player.

We flirt with the line between dance and theater. Perfect for dancers who want to immerse themselves in the theatrical, or performers who want to increase their body awareness.

At the end, this series also ventures out in front of an audience. This is a particularly fascinating stage in our growth process as actors, dancers, and performers. We will find that audience at the WISPER presentation day in Ghent on June 6.

Practical

Wear clothing that allows you to move easily. Bring a bottle of water for refreshment.

Level of experience

Level 2: you already completed at least a basic series of movement theater classes and are eager to learn more.
