Physical Theatre- In Loving Memory of Thera

One of the modules at university was physical theatre which I really enjoyed. We created a piece about climate change using movement, speech and drama. This was a different experience for me as usually I’m only used to working with movement, it gave me the opportunity to try something new. Even though I still wasn’t confident speaking in front of an audience, it gave me the opportunity to develop my confidence to be able to practice speaking in front of my peers.

Having a range of dancers and actors meant we could create a piece of work using each of our individuals’ strengths to the best of our ability. This also involved working as a company to make decisions and support each other.

Throughout the process involved a lot of research which also made me engage in what is happening in the world today which is something I didn’t really know much about. It has made me consider my lifestyle choices.

Overall this module made me learn a lot about myself and also helped me to develop as a performer.
