Power and Conflict: A Creative Exploration of Status and Transformation
Status is the unspoken force behind every interaction. Through playful exercises, participants will explore how shifts in status – expressed through body language, movement, and tone – shape tension, connection, and meaning on stage. Building on this exploration, participants will experiment with techniques to analyse and transform conflict creatively, seeing it not as something to avoid but as a driver of drama and growth. Practical methods will be introduced to deconstruct conflicts, understand their dynamics, and reimagine them in ways that reveal new perspectives. This immersive workshop offers actors a chance to dive into the interplay of power and conflict, uncovering raw emotions, subtle dynamics, and fresh creative possibilities both on stage and beyond.
