Type: In-School

About.

A liberating and eccentric workshop empowering students to develop bold and imaginative characters using Lecoq’s highly physical methodology.

Their team of Lecoq trained teaching artists will guide students through a practical toolbox of techniques to help them develop clear, distinct and effective physical characters.

Students will learn to engage with the world around them to inform their physical choices, taking inspiration from elements, colours, materials, animals, music and text. They encourage students to take risks, trust their intuition, and allow their imaginations to run wild, without any pressure to justify or intellectualise their choices. This is a non-judgmental and experimental environment, in which students can test their wildest ideas.

About Voloz Collective.

VOLOZ COLLECTIVE is an award-winning international physical theatre company that reinvents and recharges physical comedy – exploiting the capacities of the human body and blurring the lines between the theatrical and cinematic.

Hailing from three different countries, the team of four was brought together by two years of study at L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq.

Voloz Collective has performed in France, England, and the United States, in diverse venues ranging from an organic farm in rural Vermont to London’s Pleasance Theatre. Voloz has been granted residencies at La Factorie in Normandy, France and at The Sable Project in Vermont, USA. Voloz Collective’s original theatrical short film, America, premiered off-broadway as part of Ars Nova’s ANT FEST. In February of 2022, Voloz toured The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much to 17 different venues throughout England and Scotland, followed by an Off West end run at Omnibus Theatre. They received multiple five star reviews and an Off-West End Award nomination. Voloz will be performing as part of the Pleasance Futures season at the Edinburgh Fringe this August, and will also be performing the French premiere of The Man Who in January in Paris at Point Du Jour.
