The online workshop has been designed for advanced actors/teachers/directors who have completed, at minimal, an intermediate training in the Emotional Effector Patterns. The goal of the workshop is to develop a practical understanding of how to integrate the EEP into your theatrical practice.
This course applies both the Feldenkrais® method and the Emotional Effector Patterns to help you recognize, identify and explore different ways breathing and movement are associated with the characteristic functions and attitudes of emotions, without evoking any personal content. All six emotional effector patterns will be taught, as well as neutral and Step Out.
