Description
What role does movement play in bringing a performance to life?
In this video, Paul Allain discusses Movement, Text, Performance, his new Cambridge Element exploring the vital role of movement direction in contemporary theatre. Drawing on decades of practice and research, Allain examines how movement shapes character, ensemble work, voice, text delivery, and the creation of theatrical worlds on stage. The Element also traces the influence of the Grotowskian tradition on British theatre and offers fresh perspectives on performance-making today.
