Starting with grounding exercises, this introductory movement-based workshop for actors, led by Ryuji Yamahuchi, explores character physicalization through the language of movement. Participants will learn to use their bodies as the foundation for character development, engaging in practical exercises that draw on dynamics, elements, and Laban movement. This workshop is ideal for actors eager to discover a more physical, embodied approach to creating character.
