IF IT MOVES, IT PLAYS. AND SO DO YOU !
INTENSIVE WORKSHOP with NORMAN TAYLOR
Based on the movement exercises and action mimes created by Jacques LECOQ, this workshop will push you technically, inspire you dramatically and surprise you poetically. The only way to create the extraordinary is to know the ordinary. As we are all the same and each of us is unique, so if we do what everybody does we will see our differences!
NORMAN TAYLOR
Teacher of Movement Analysis and Improvisation – Acting.
In 1976 he goes to Paris to study mime with Jacques LECOQ in his school. Gradually this word “mime” takes on other meanings for him.
The guessing game favoured by so many mime artists at that time recedes and there appears an actor relying on his body as the prime mover.
Silence, which he thought inevitable for miming, takes on all-inclusive dynamics; from silence and movement spring words and texts and...everything. Play and improvisation become inseparable from acting and structure in space.
Since everything which is constant in this world is constantly in movement and in interplay, he becomes more observant and more analytical. Te search for form and shape is ever- present, be it in movement or in acting. He develops his teaching techniques alongside Jacques LECOQ, continues to act and starts to direct shows.
In 2000 Norman leaves the school and travels more in order to teach, advise, direct and act. He now works in several European countries, and in Argentina , USA and Canada. He trains actors, creators, teachers – all those who explore the world of illusion. He trains teachers, directors of human resources, advisers – who are interested in the pedagogy of life.
His role changes with circumstances and the same quest remains – observe movement and play, and share, with those who desire it, the unfathomable depths of this approach.
