ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Unlock the power of your body to create bold, dynamic characters. In this workshop led by Buba Basishvili of Theatre Artibus, you'll explore gestures, walks, voice, and connections to nature to build characters from the outside in.
Through physical exercises and improvisation, you'll develop tools for stage movement—timing, breath, and spatial awareness—while expanding your expressive range.
Perfect for performers and dancers with some experience, this class invites you to take risks, get out of your head, and tell stories through the body.
If we don't get enough interest for this workshop, it may be canceled and full refunds will be given to those who signed up.
