Lucid Body Basics @ Jacksons Lane
Jan 19 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm

LUCID BODY BASICS, a physical acting process for everyone

Lucid Body is a process of self exploration designed for actors but accessible for anyone who wants to reconnect with their body and explore the habits that are locking them into unwanted patterns.

When a person is connected to their body we feel it – we sense their intentions, emotions, we feel their presence in the room, they seem alive and in the moment.

In January and February 2015 we are offering a six-week Basics class to explore the fundamental elements of this challenging Psycho-Physical Integration Process.


We will work to:

Create a safe and challenging environment for deep exploration.
Draw awareness to, and break, the postural habits and emotional patterns that bind us.
Use our unique physical and emotional impulses in our creativity.
Connect breath to body.
Gain an in-depth understanding of the Seven Energy Centres of the body.
Let go of control and anticipation.
Live and work in the moment.

You don’t need to be an actor to participate, but you do need a brave heart, a willingness to play and some comfortable clothes to do movement work in.

www.lucidbodylondon.com

Immediately following this course, we are offering a four-week Advanced course which can be taken separately or in conjunction with this Basics course.  See website for special pricing package when booking Basics and Advanced together.

Raniah Al-Sayed currently teaches Lucid Body at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, The Drama Studio London and Arts Educational Schools London. She trained as an actor, firstly as a young artist at the BRIT School and, later, at The Michael Howard Studios NY where she met Lucid Body Founder Fay Simpson.  After completing her teacher training with Fay, Raniah returned to her childhood city to found Lucid Body London.  She continues to act, write and direct while teaching in schools and privately.

Iain Lee v Radio @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 8 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless.

Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can’t say on the radio?

Despite appearing on radio (Five Live, Radio 4, XFM, BBC 3 Counties) and TV (The 11 O’Clock Show, This Morning, Big Brothers Bit On The Side) for over fifteen years, this is Iain’s first solo show. Should be a right old laugh.
