So What is Physical Theatre?

Physical theatre is a really accessible form of theatre, where language, or lack of it, is not a barrier as the story is mostly told through physical means.  It is closely linked to choreography and other physical art forms such as mime and circus: the unifying aspect is a “reliance on physical motion of the performers rather than or combined with text to convey the story”.

Stories are communicated by performers through hand gestures, body language, thought tracking and many more physical features.  This makes it great as an introduction to the theatre and as a way of enabling everyone, irrespective of age or health to join in.

The workshop will last under 2 hours and we would be interested to get people’s opinions about running a workshop such as this more regularly at Sticks.

We hope to see you there… no one is too old, too young, too loud, too infirm or too anything to join us!!!  We want to see as many of you here as possible!
