YOUR BODY IS A GREAT RESOURCE of ideas and inspiration.
By refining your listening and intuition, you can flow in a naturally creative way and use your impulses to ellaborate text, shape movement, and perhaps create a performance or simply understand yourself better.
This workshop has a somatic approach to the creative process. You do not need any experience to take part. Just a curiosity and willingness to self-investigate.
I use tools of embodied consent, creative writing, physical theatre -Leocoq methodology, mask work, and bring different props to unlock all the playfulness and pleasure you can bring to your work and life.
Here you can develop your: wellbeing/ acting/ devising/ writing/ directing.
This is a workshop is for:
- people who'd like to connect with their bodies
- people who would like to create more fluidly, in fun ways
- creatives who need playful on their process
- writers, spoken word performers, directors, movers looking to devise material
- actors interested in physical theatre techniques which can be aplied to castings, TV, etc.
Testemonies:

“This was innovative technically and a moving experience. Alice's guidance is very open but clear, delicate and direct,which allowed for trust and surrender.” Daniel C. - acting tutor
"After this workshop I feel more confident and I can clearly notice the difference on my acting, and specially my physical presence." Stephanie
