5-DAY WORKSHOP | BODY, SPACE & THE IMAGINATION II: the journey
May 7-11, 10am – 2:30pm 
Building on preliminary exercises introduced in the first module in 2016, this workshop deepens research into some of the most fundamental principles of performance and play. Based on the work and teachings of Jacques Lecoq, Monika Pagneux and Ariane Mnouchkine, the training explores how the body, form, space and audience work together to create meaning. It helps actors, directors, writers, dancers and choreographers tell stories with confidence, control and simplicity. Click here to read a full course outline.

ABOUT JEREMY JAMES
Theatre director, actor, dramaturg and teacher, Jeremy’s work and research have taken him to more than 20 countries over the past 25 years. His approach is defined by a creative and critical inquiry into the work of the actor, and a commitment to training-based collaborative theatre. Jeremy received critical acclaim for his work in the collectively devised theatre and film projects of the Théâtre du Soleil; notably for Les Éphémères and Le Dernier Caravansérail at international festivals in Avignon, Athens, Berlin, Bochum, Buenos Aires, New York, Lyon, Melbourne, Rome, São Paulo, Taipei and Vienna. His distinctive approach to practice and pedagogy has evolved through his work and training with master directors and teachers in Europe; among others, Mnouchkine, Philippe Gaulier, Monika Pagneux, Katie Mitchell and founding members of Complicite, Roy Hart and Song of the Goat. A regular guest director and teacher at theatre schools and universities internationally, Jeremy has worked with Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, Canada’s National Theatre School, Britain’s Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and the Universiteit Utrecht, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Shanghai Theatre Academy and Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. His workshops have been presented by theatre companies and cultural institutions on five continents: in Canada he has been hosted several times by Why Not Theatre and the Volcano Conservatory in Toronto and by Electric Company Theatre and Radix Theatre here in Vancouver.
