The ICM is a new centre for the ongoing professional development of movement teachers, movement directors and other movement practitioners working in theatre, actor training and allied fields.  In its pilot phase the aim of the centre is to hold a series of encounters that will develop movement practitioners through practical workshops, discussion and to connect movement practitioners across specialisms.

 

In the ICM’s next event Experience will be offering a practical insight into Integrative Performance Practice (IPP). Her approach to practice allows optimal ability while acting, singing/sounding, and dancing/moving, without the compromise of technical excellence. IPP is a way of working that shifts how performers engage with their training, conditioning, and performance disciplines. It synthesizes the various elements of performance work in order to empower the performer, as they practice across disciplines within any genre, style or aesthetic.

 

The IPP is designed not as a negotiation of various performing techniques, but rather as one practice through which any combinations of disciplinary expression can emerge with excellence.This workshop will be an introduction the core practices and premises of the Integrative Performance Practice.

 

Experience Bryon is Senior Lecturer at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama serving as Course leader for the MA in Performance Practice as Research as well as being the Practice as Research Coordinator for the Research Degrees. As an early pioneer of Integrative Performance she brings to the table 20 years of Practice as Research within the area of interdisciplinary performance making. She is author of Integrative Performance: Practice and Research for the Interdisciplinary Performer, Routledge, 2014 and is currently working on a new book about performance and transdisciplinarity, exploring problematics, possibilities and pragmatics when performance encounters other disciplines.  For more details about her practice please see
