THE PLAYING BODY

He draw inspiration from dance makers and theatre directors, as well as from visual artists and circus performers. Working with games, scenarios and improvisations, his sessions are guided predominantly through tasks, questions and reflections. Scott´s foundational aim is to expand the way we relate, interact, and understand ourselves as human beings.

He always encourage participants to tap into their own imaginations and use this as a stepping stone to unlock new ways of approaching physicality and creativity. Core themes of exploration will include physical communication and storytelling, accessing and understanding the voice and working with objects and materials.
