Belinda Simon talks us through her processes in creating physical ensemble work using levels, contrast, gesture and music to create mood and tension. She examines the role of the chorus, how to limit dialogue and create meaning using the body as the most powerful tool on stage.
In her interview we will explore 2 of her works:
Alice In Wonderland - Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School
Sub Cinibus - 2017 NSW Public Schools State Drama Ensemble.
