Laban For Actors
Laban for Actors: Elm Street and International Sessions Jan-Feb 2024
“Pascal is truly a master teacher. He creates a space of play and discovery while effortlessly guiding the actor through Laban principles. His process keeps one in exploration mode before getting too analytical. I have studied Laban principles briefly in the past but felt like I was rediscovering Laban in a whole new way. We worked from the inside out, which allowed me to truly get curious and dive in deep without being too judgemental about the process. I highly recommend his classes to actors searching to embody characters on a much deeper, physiological level!” Talia R (Toronto)
5 x 2 hours. Saturdays: 1pm - 3pm TO | 10am - 12pm LA | 6pm - 8pm LON
January 20th, 27th, February 3rd, 10th, 17th, (24th is delivery of Demo videos)
Location: 49 Elm St Main Floor, Toronto, ON M5G 1H1 AND online video call option.
Designed for actors who have some experience and/or some training, this now well established workshop series, will deepen your current range and expand it into new physicalities - equally grounded in truth. Laban can be used in any media from theatre and motion capture to film and even voice work!
Classes 1 to 3 give you a firm foundation in Laban principles, not starting with theory but led instead with embodied practice. The object is to get you familiar enough with the qualities from an experiential process before learning Laban’s terms. On completion you will be ready for the three advanced Laban for character classes that follow.. Short homework prompts will be emailed daily between each class.
Classes 4 to 6 move into more advanced territory, teaching how to use Laban to analyze a character from a breakdown and a performance on film. Finally performing a speech using what has been learned, adjusted to a chosen medium.
Only 4 in person places and 3 Online places are available.
