Sharp, Dynamic Creativity Through Movement
Cornered explores physical theatre and movement in a fresh, exciting and explorative way.
Join Sophie Jane Corner for 3 days of devising through movement combining written word, poetry and voice through the physical body. A physically interesting way to create in the room, working on solo performance and collaboration. The workshop will contain 2.5 days of exploration working towards a final showing on our final day.
Challenge your skills in this “on your feet” medium and discover new dimensions of creative expression.
About your workshop lead:
These workshops will be led by Sophie Jane Corner. Sophie is New Perspectives’ New Associate for 2024-2025 and studied Drama Studies at De Montfort University, Leicester (2015-2018). Since then, she has accumulated credits in film, theatre, commercial work, and voice-over, with over fifty credits to her name. Sophie has continued her training with movement workshops, notably advanced and masterclass workshops with Frantic Assembly. She is also a BADC member, has completed Yoga Teacher Training (200 hours), and most recently trained in unarmed and rapier combat with Kiel O’Shea (BADC accredited).
Her current focus is on physical theatre; she has been hired by Nottingham Playhouse as a physical theatre/movement specialist and director. Sophie is also writing poetry under her dedicated social media handle @inlimbophase. She is currently writing and producing her first film, “Hindsight,” which she hopes to release later this year. This film combines her specialist skills into one format. Additionally, Sophie is a founding member of the “Amplify Actors Collective,” a group for professional East Midlands actors. In collaboration with Nottingham Playhouse, she runs and facilitates free weekly workshops.
