John Lang presents an exciting movement workshop for young performers and non-performers, which allows them to use their imaginations and find images and actions through physical movement. The session is energising and will help young people to express themselves in other ways than words – that is through gesture, face, body language and free movement. John draws on his skills in mime, street and theatre styles from many cultures, but there will be plenty of free space for the group to make their own discoveries and inventions in improvised scenes. Both to create performances and as self-discovery, this is an exciting chance to learn new skills, meet new people and have an enjoyable and creative experience.
