Postgraduate Certificate in Physical Theatre for Dancers and Actors
This postgraduate certificate is a Continuing Professional Development course for postgraduate experienced dancers and actors moving into a new area of work namely dance theatre, introducing new techniques that combine vocal, kinaesthetic and visual skills and responses. The focus of the course will be to understand and explore Vardimon’s method and approach of creating physical theatre work and will be taught by Jasmin Vardimon and the collaborators of the Jasmin Vardimon Company.Associate Artist of Sadler’s Wells, award-winning director/choreographer Jasmin Vardimon is one of this country’s leading pioneers of dance theatre. Combining physical theatre, dance, text, music and innovative technologies, Vardimon is renowned for her acute observations of human behaviour, distinguished by her beautifully detailed movement, insightful humour and social relevance.The aim of the course is to engage students in practical methods and skills in the creation of physical theatre practice.You will experiment with a variety of aspects of the physical theatre work to include movement, dynamic speech, object integration, media usage and sound. Teaching will primarily be through experiential workshops with students given tasks for improvisation and exploration. The workshop will promote dynamic activity; with time to both experiment practically and to respond with detailed feedback.The dramaturgy of physical theatre will be built upon throughout the course so that aspects of developing narrative, working with text and voice, set, props or multi-media will be incorporated.Towards the end of the training period you will work to create studio-based compositions which reflect the physical and vocal skills that have been developed.The course will consist of 8 intensive weekend workshops and a full-time week in June.Audition Date:Thursday 8th April 2010.
