Movement and Storytelling with Laura Weston
Together, we will investigate how narratives emerge from the body—through breath, sensation, spatial awareness, and dynamic expression using the framework of Laban’s Kinesphere and Ensemble Movement Practices which explore the use of motion, action, and spatial composition.
Through guided movement explorations, improvisational tasks, solo and group composition exercises, artists will expand their movement palette and deepen their connection to physical play and storytelling.
Òran
Combining spoken word, lyrical storytelling and a pulsating electronic live score, this is the thrilling story of ÒRAN and his journey to rescue his best friend from the Underworld.
Should he arrive there, Hades might grant him the chance to lead his friend home…but at what cost?
