12 Impulses / 40 Second Responses (2020)

Between 2019-2022, I facilitated physical theatre workshops for the local community in Cambridge (UK).

First, organised by Acting Now, then independently, I led weekly sessions open to all: actors, theatre students, researchers, community workers, artists, AI specialists and astrophysicists. As well as physical training and movement work, we did sensory explorations, working with the space, text and objects, partner-work and improvisation. Each week, I would set a new challenge. Each week, we would gather to connect and explore together. The group created a devised, semi-improvised, performance which we presented to an invited audience in 2019.

In the spring of 2020, when the pandemic hit the UK, we transferred our work online. Our online work together led to a short video project 12 Impulses / 40 second responses, created by each participant in isolation, and edited by me.
