Man Moves: THE RETURN
It’s here! The Man Moves 2 Course you’ve all been waiting for! Man Moves: The Return will be a confidence boosting manly joyride full of beasty tunes and magic moves. Drawing on techniques and tools learnt in Man Moves 1, over 6 weeks we will develop our masculine physicality further and delve deeper into creating unique characters. Using a range of approaches, including costume for character, theatre and acting exercises and your own inspiration, we will explore how to create a character who you feel passionate about and who expresses that side of yourself most authentically.
This course will include one-to-one check-ins to ensure you are getting the most from the classes, and as a chance to voice any discoveries, doubts and ideas you may have.
Performance Course Extension - Man Moves: SHOWTIME!
While Man Moves: The Return can act as a standalone course, there is also the opportunity to take it further by signing up to the Man Moves 2 Performance Extension Course – aka Man Moves: Showtime! In these 6 weeks we will form a troupe and work towards creating an original Man Moves show, which we will perform at the end of the course in a professional cabaret at the Old Fire Station. Creating a show and performing together can be the most confidence boosting, rewarding and bonding experience.
In addition to the 6 Week Course there will be a bonus final rehearsal session at the end of Week 6, to help prepare you for the show.
PLUS! Man Moves: Showtime! Will include two masterclasses from industry experts, on Clowning and Performance Skills, and Make Up for Drag.
