Lucid Body Sydney Series: Levels 1 & 2
About
The Lucid Body is a dynamic psychophysical acting technique that gives actors a tangible process for recognising habits, transforming into character, embodying given circumstances, deepening physical listening, and cultivating greater presence on stage and screen. It's the process used by Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o and taught at America's top drama schools, including Juilliard, Yale, and NYU.This workshop series introduces actors to the foundations of the Lucid Body process, beginning with practical awareness of habitual patterns before reshaping these into new layers of truth. Through embodied intention, archetypes, Jungian psychology, the push/pull of relationship dynamics, and a range of somatic practices including yoga and modern dance, actors are given a comprehensive framework to expand their ability to act with authenticity. Participants are encouraged to draw on impulses, history, and emotional architecture that already live in the body, rather than putting on a mask as something separate from themselves.
The series will run on Tuesday and Thursday mornings* from 10am-1pm on the following dates:
Nov 25, 28*
Dec 2, 4, 9, 11, 16, 18
*Class two will run on Friday Nov 28th, instead of Thursday Nov 27th
