Physical Approach to Character with Andrew Gaboury
2024-11-02 14:00 - 17:00
There are many approaches to character and most of them are intellectual and text-based. These approaches are wonderful for understanding your character’s story and empathizing with them, but often they don’t touch on a character’s physicality.
In this workshop we will explore character from the outside in, inspecting the body and defining its architecture while taking time to relax into our choices to allow the actor to live.
Together we will build a physical vocabulary inspired by Laban, Bogart & Landau and a variety of contemporary clown, puppetry and mask teachers.
The majority of this workshop will have you up on your feet, exploring through a series of exercises and prompts. The workshop will begin with a warm-up and will have breaks throughout.
Useful things to know:

Bring comfortable clothes and layers.
The Art Shelter is an off-grid dance studio run by solar power. It is not heated nor does it have air conditioning. The Art Shelter is warm on sunny days but it’s cooler when it’s overcast.
We have water and a small kitchenette with some coolers to store food, coffee/tea and a microwave to reheat food.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER – Colleen Snell
Colleen is obsessed with storytelling; it shows in her multidisciplinary practice. She’s an educator, dramaturge, world builder, placemaker, fight director, and sound designer – but she’s most passionate about movement and dance as a vehicle for human expression. Colleen is the Artistic Director of Frog in Hand, a dance company she cofounded. For over 10 years she has devised and performed with Frog in Hand, generating cultural capital in her hometown of Mississauga and advocating for contemporary dance in a suburban setting. Colleen’s choreography incorporates large, ensemble casts and themes inspired by science fiction. Her site-specific work has appeared in a brew pub, rowing club, arena, factory, sawmill, gym, and splash pad – as well as more “traditional” educational institutions and stages across Canada (like Springboard Danse, the Guelph Dance Festival, York and Metropolitan University).
Colleen completed her MA with Distinction at the London Contemporary Dance School in England, and her rare passion for grant writing has garnered support for Frog in Hand from the OAC, Canada Council, Mississauga Community Foundation, Trillium Foundation, Canada Summer Jobs, Federal Cultural Spaces and Mississauga Arts Council, among others. As a dancer, she most recently worked with TranscenDance Project on their 2024 immersive “Eve of Saint George” production, telling the story of Dracula across three entire floors of The Great Hall in Toronto.
