Physically Playful with Liron Barre

Service Description

Physically Playful! We’ve all been there: you step on stage with a fully-fleshed, brilliant idea...and you get stuck. Your body feels stuck, you don’t know where to stand, let alone where to go. You enter the dreadful... improv freeze, a liminal space where being playful now seems impossible. What if we could unplug our brains and connect with our bodies? In Physically Playful, you will spend a day exploring how physicality and impulses can lead to bolder, funny and surprising choices; unlocking new characters, new ideas and new emotional spaces. You will discover new tools from physical theater, improvised movement and clowning which will help us reconnect with spontaneity and fun, with ourselves & others.
