ABOUT

FALLING SPACE offers regular, open, affordable classes for professional actors, and artists working in performance. They are facilitated by leading performance practitioners who draw from a wide-ranging heritage of Actor-Movement training and beyond. The work centres around connecting to body, breath, voice and space. It allows the integrated body to be present in performance; work with physical impulse; connect to others in the space; and use maximum expressive potential to communicate more completely.

FALLING SPACE is a resource for independent artists to develop and maintain an embodied performance practice which is ongoing (and lifelong). It offers the space and time to be active in a studio regularly, and so encourages a wide-reaching shift among artists towards creative continuity and development. It is also a laboratory for rigorous practical enquiry, and the exchange of ideas: an open space where practical engagement with self and others encourages a fluid community of artists, fostering dialogue and mutual support. Through engaging with our own practice and each other in a sustained way we seek to expand beyond our current boundaries and break new ground.
