flexible physical body able to move with ease through space and
interact instinctively on-stage. Annie Loui draws on her training

it can be used to develop alert and embodied listening skills in

book will guide the reader through a full course of movement
skills, including: Partnering skills Spatial awareness for groups
and individuals Fine motor control through mime Heightened
co-ordination and sustained motion New for this edition are
additional partnering exercises, in-depth applications of contact
improvisation to monologues and scenes, and a chapter on devising
physical theatre performances.
