TRAINING: Leah shares her layered regime of performance training - a mash of Suzuki Actor Training Method, contemporary dance, improvisation, lip-sync, object manipulation & parody - a rigorous, structured practice that involves sweat, guts and offensive pop music.
DEVISING: a workshop series focussed on devising short cabaret acts or performance pieces. Idiocy, experimentation and mistake-making are embraced - play with new performance styles; devise new material; unpack how to structure an act; analyse case studies; and explore how to simultaneously entertain and provoke your audience.
As teacher / facilitator / mentor, Leah has worked with Queensland University of Technology, Griffith University, Circus Oz, Flipside Circus, Backbone Youth Arts, The National Actors Conservatory, Queensland Theatre Company, Brisbane Powerhouse’s Powerkidz, QPAC, Out of the Box, and numerous high schools.
