TESTIMONIALS:
"I'm so glad I attended the Body Presence Workshop. It helped me find a bridge between my acting and dance training. I would definitely recommend this to any emerging musical theatre artist -
this kind of work is integral!"
"Matthew is amazing! He is so passionate in what he does, and is really knowledgeable. His workshops are really well rounded, and allow you to explore new things with connecting to your body and vulnerability, then giving you time to apply it! I've done two of his workshops now, and have learnt something new each time!"

BODY PRESENCE aims to refine the interplay between internal sensation with external movement for the musical theatre performer. Simply, how can an actor FEEL the WORDS they're MOVING?

Building community in a safe space of exploration, BPW cultivates the tools needed for an actor to synthesize and embody choreography with authentic impulse and personal connection. A process-based technique, BPW explores the integration of Linklater-based VOICE and SPEECH pedagogy, using contemporary musical theatre TEXT, with AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT, YOGA, IMAGE, and CHOREOGRAPHY.

** BPW can be applied to ALL texts, as well as styles and dance forms. **
