Creative Movement & Performance Course

Creative Movement & Performance Course

Our Creative Movement and Performance course will help you reconnect with your sense of play and explore storytelling using your body.

As a performer, actor or dancer, this course will free up your creative practice and enhance your improvisation capabilities through movement. You’ll experience a release from the constraints of traditional choreography.

Beginners with no previous dance experience are welcome. If you have a curiosity for movement, this course will expand your movement vocabulary and teach you to express your own unique style through characterisation and interpretation.

Throughout this dance course, you will create your own solo pieces and work as a group using a mix of unique choreography to curate a performance that you will show informally at the end of the course.

Creative Movement & Performance course Content

The performance course is based on a method used by physical and occupational therapists, actors and dancers called 'Laban Movement Analysis' which is a way to describe, visualize, interpret and document human movement. You'll discover elements of this practice through:

  • Moving with Others - learn to move with, and interpret the movement of others, make contact and collaborate as a group
  • Choreography - devise original choreography through play and exploration
  • Creative Workshops - draw inspiration from photography, art and music, and explore ways to develop movement phrases in a space
  • Performance - A sharing of work in the final week to demonstrate the creative and improvised skills developed

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
