Danny Yung Talk Series – Creative Elements 1: The Body
Body language was probably the first means we ever employed to express ourselves, well before the language of text and sound came into being. Which part of your body are you most familiar with? The most often used part is probably the hand, right? Especially the fingers. How well do you know and understand about your palms and fingers? What is the purpose of doing warm-up exercises? Danny Yung will tell us how we can learn about the space of the theatre by starting with learning about our own body.
