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.
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.
Novice singer that would like to improve? Come to Singing in London Workshop for Beginners and learn to sing from scratch in four hours!
The workshop will teach you singing skills step by step from basic level and will show you how to use your vocal range in both singing for fun and presentation for public speaking.
We’ll be working on singing and breathing techniques and will show you how to develop your singing skills.
Are you a soprano, an alto, a baritone or bass – you’ll find out at the workshop!
To round it off together we’ll prepare you for a short group performance at the end of the workshop.
We’ve chosen two beautiful songs to practice at the workshop: Magic Moments By Perry Como & Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz. The workshop schedule & the song sheets with web links to practice will be emailed to you upon booking.
At the end of the workshop you will receive a certificate of achievement for completing the beginner level. You can follow it up with the 2nd Level workshop for Intermediates in February.
We limit places to our workshops so enrol now to secure your place before it’s booked up book online.
