BREATHING PERFORMER WORKSHOPS

BY CHRISTOPHER SIVERTSEN

Christopher’s approach to training is both passionate and playful and seeks to release and extend the performer’s capabilities in fundamental areas of the craft of performing. By deepening the participant’s connection with the essential elements of rhythm and breath his workshops aims to enhance and awaken the creativity in the participants. The Breathing Performer draws on sources including folklore, traditional song, hip-hop, jazz, poetic texts and personal stories. All of the work is designed to develop and deepen an understanding of the ‘self’, allowing for greater risks to be taken and to engage as much of the performer as possible in the creation of character and story.

Participants will leave this workshop with a greater understanding of how breath and rhythm can function as the foundation for ensemble theatre and personal creativity.
