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.

Fierce and full of power, the company want to connect with their audiences – and to do so not only by performing tricks, but by telling a story, revealing their feelings, and allowing the audience to fully experience the performance, both visually and emotionally.

Using key works from the LUX archive – the largest collection of artists film and video in the country – this short introductory course will trace and discuss artists’ engagement with the moving image throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, from the early pioneers of the 1920s to contemporary practitioners. We will explore through active discussion the relationship between art and cinema and the place and role of the moving image within contemporary visual arts today.
No previous knowledge is required, just a curiosity to see and find out more about this fascinating area of art practice.
