Let the Character Lead the Text

In this workshop, you will take your PEM training to the next level by learning how to give characters complex layers and lived history—entirely through the body.

Rather than imposing intention or interpretation onto text, you’ll experience how:

  • Emotion and character emerge physiologically
  • Text becomes a result of embodied impulse

Performance shifts from effort to organic responsiveness
