"Discovering the Moment" with Tom Pritchard
Masterclass level: Open to all
Working in both movement and voice, Tom will guide participants through playful, energetic explorations of their body in motion, concentrating on the skeleton as a source of structure and the eyes as a source of intrigue. Ideal for all levels, this workshop will open up ways to approach our own creativity as an artful, necessary part of life. For performers specifically, this work offers routes to presence and accuracy in using voice and movement, a finding of ourselves as unique beings worthy of the stage.
