If you would like and can afford to donate to support the future of the company please do! We are pleased to host this series of workshops with the support of the Community Initiative Fund.
Bringing Movement to Life: Exploring the Effort Drive in Performance, Dance, and Choreography
These workshops would be specifically for physical performers/actors/dancers, and would focus on exploring the Effort Drive, a concept of Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies (LBMS)
The Effort Drive encapsulates emotion (telling the story of it through the body, not necessarily feeling emotions), so exploring the different efforts in movement, dance, and choreography helps to bring authenticity, relatability, aliveness and more vitality and clarity to movements, characters, and/or storyline.
Workshop 1:
Introduction to the Effort Drive. We will explore the different efforts and how they are connected through brief study and personal exploration of them through movement expression and imagery. We will also explore authentic ways of moving and incorporating efforts solo, in partnerships, and in a group(s).
