In the mixed bag that was Term One of the Performance Workshops at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery, participants developed skills in breathing, sound making, decision making and range of movement. The major focus this term was devising movement and performing.
Almost every week the participants broke into smaller groups to devise a short movement sequence based on particular gestures, actions, songs or words. The smaller groups then taught the rest of the class and performed for everyone.
The group learnt basic principles of performing including how to enter and exit the performing space and how to clearly start and finish a performance. There was also loads of time time for laughs with the regular fun games and jokes.
