Description
The vital building blocks of movement training - a key sourcebook for actors, directors, students and teachers.
In precise detail, Darley sets out the exercises and techniques she developed with her own drama-school students. She deals with the vital building blocks of movement training: awareness, relaxation, tension-particularly Lecoq's Seven States-and suspension, before progressing to areas in which she was a pioneer: animal work, contact work, visual spacing, and the relationship between voice and movement.
'Christian was much more than a teacher, she was an indomitable and extraordinary spirit' Anna Maxwell Martin
