Movement

In this module I will explain why movement is important for an actor, what is my strength and weaknesses and introduce my movement workshop.
Analyzing myself I can concern that I have enough stamina due to my sport training, such as running, playing tennis. I have strength and my body is well-build with muscles. I am not quite flexible, but I keep working on it at home doing yoga and using an app which helps me to achieve particular goal in 30 days. My weakest point is physical theater, building a character. The reason of it is lack of knowledge. I start to read more information in the internet, watch videos on YouTube, ask questions to my classmates/the leader of the course, read a book, continue study outside the course. And this is how I met Jacquie Lecoq (7 levels of Tension), Rudolph Laban (The 8 efforts), Frantic Ensemble (physical theatre), Anna Halprin (circle the Earth) and many, many others.
My movement workshop is presented in my blog and it is called "Movememnt workshop".
Links to the workshop and the performance are available below this text.

On the scene with blue sheets we used few techniques - Brechtian to represent waves and Lecoq to show tension. Whole scene starts neutral, calm and then it gets more chaotic. And finishes with transformation from level 6-7 (ready to explode) to level 1 (jelly fish).
