A four day journey into ‘Character Analysis’ based on the work of Rudolph Laban, Yat Malmgren and Carl Jung – as used by top International film acting coach – Giles Foreman

This four day workshop looks at the layers – outer and inner, the motivations both conscious and unconscious, the ‘shape’ of thought processes, the resulting physical life, and the deep life questions that shape a character’s destiny and reason for being in a story.

A brief but practical look at the extraordinary theory of Movement Psychology that will change the way you see characters and indeed – yourselves.
