Session 2: Directing Unplugged – Classic Text, New Movement
Date: Wed 11 Dec, 6:30–8:30 PM
How do you take timeless words and turn them into dynamic motion?
In this session, we’ll explore the power of movement and physical storytelling. From Shakespeare to fairy tales, you’ll discover how to transform classic narratives into captivating physical performances. And what if we strip away the words altogether?
Join us for an exciting, exploratory journey into the craft of directing. Expect to experiment, collaborate, and most of all, have fun!
