Physical theatre

Entry requirements: none.

Do you love theater, and would you love to learn how to express yourself through your body rather than just your mind? Then this course is perfect for you. Our approach will involve the creation and enactment of theater through the use of physical space and the human body. 

We will experiment with time and space, creating images and scenes through improvisation, as well as rehearsing and bringing them to life. This will be done by using music, text, and even silence. We will work together, observe together, explore together, and most importantly, have fun together. 

What you will learn 

• How to create and perform an interesting scene from a physical perspective 

• Awareness of your own body and presence on stage 

• Combining physicality and text in your performance 

• Playing with time and space 

About the teacher

Julia Spoelstra completed her Teaching Theatre Maker program at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht in 2018. During and after her studies, she focused on how to engage diverse audiences in a coaching and physical way. She uses various techniques from Viewpoint, Frantic Assembly, and the Das Arts Feedback method, among others. Playing, creating, and experimenting together is important to her. It’s all about truly working as a group and having fun. So, if you’ve always wanted to try something new, Julia would love to share this new challenge with you.
