When teaching theatre that includes physicality or movement (whether a waltz, a hug, or a staged slap), good communication between partners is key. This class will lead teachers through several tools they can share with young performers, including the Extreme Stage Physicality Method created by movement specialist Adam Noble. The techniques learned during the session can be shared with students to create a confident and communicative environment in which responsible partnering can happen with ease.
