Christine Hellman - Movement - Introduction to Lucid Body
Wednesday September 16, 2026 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
This workshop is an introduction to the Lucid Body technique, a psycho-physical process that offers actors a new language for embodiment, character diagnosis, and energetic clarity. The Lucid Body approach invites performers to work from the inside out—engaging the body, breath, and awareness as primary tools for truthful, sustainable performance.

Lucid Body practice focuses on reorganizing energy within the body so that character and circumstance can emerge with deep visceral truth. At its core, this work reframes acting as a holistic practice—one that supports the nervous system and the body rather than depleting it.

Participants will be introduced to three foundational principles of the Lucid Body and experience how these concepts can immediately shift presence, availability, and expressive range.

This workshop includes a physical warm up so space to move is needed.
