Running Straight High Jump: Eadweard Muybridge
We run a variety of workshops and courses in schools, colleges and universities, as well as courses for actors and musicians.
Whether we are working with children, senior citizens, young people in conflict in the law, doctors, or performers, our approach is strongly rooted in an idea of the moving body as a powerful vehicle of expression - as poetic beyond words. Both our performance work and teaching is profoundly influenced by the teaching of Jacques Lecoq.
