Proper Job Workshops

We run a number of weekend workshops from our base in Byram Arcade, Huddersfield.

The workshops run from 10am – 3pm Saturday and Sunday.

Theatrical Biomechanics
27th & 28th Sept 2008 - £65

Proper Job Theatre Company offer workshops for anyone interested in Meyerholds Biomechanics. Vsevolod Emilevich Meyerhold was a Russian theatrical producer, director, and actor whose provocative experiments dealing with physical being and symbolism in an unconventional theatre setting made him one of the seminal forces in modern theatre.

Over the past 10 years interest in Biomechanics has greatly increased as people better understand Meyerhold’s contribution to theatre, both historically and in terms of the present day practice. It is a highly physical system which is often written about and discussed. The difference with Proper Job’s work is that we will help students understand Biomechanics from a physical point of view, creating a deeper and more sustainable knowledge.

The workshop will be lead by James Beale, Director of Proper Job.
