Get excited for our September DDG Members’ event! “Blocking and Movement in Theatre ” workshop by Gillian Rhodes!WHAT:
A short workshop exploring practical ways to infuse theatrical scenes with movement, from small and simple movements to more physical theatre-oriented approaches.
This is a practical, hands-on workshop that examines how to bring movement into the theatre. Working with an example scene, we’ll explore from the dramaturgy perspective how movement can help tell the story, from the smallest of gestures to remaking the scene entirely through movement.
