Join the Vuka Actor Series of The Fundamentals of Movement Theatre: your body as a playful tool for devising with Kyla Davis.
The world around us is full of inspiration, if we are curious enough to look! Come and play in this series of physical theatre workshops designed to gently wake up and warm up your theatre body and imagination at the beginning of a new year. Expect to move, stretch, play and explore with other bodies in space. No experience required, just a willingness to stay present and be silly together.
This is a 3 part series taking place over 3 Mondays from 11:30am - 1pm.
Kyla Davis is a theatremaker, director, activist, educator, mother and occasionally, when the mood takes her, a performer. She is the founder and artistic director of Well Worn Theatre Company, an independent arts organisation in Jo’burg that creates plays that respond to eco-social justice themes. Since 2008, Well Worn Theatre has produced and toured the length and breadth of South Africa.
Kyla is also the co-founder and co-director of The Johannesburg School of Mask and Movement Theatre (JMAM), a training programme dedicated to the development of artistic excellence in aspiring theatre-makers, performers, practitioners and artists wishing to expand their creative and poetic limits.
Most recently, Kyla co-devised and performed in ‘The Agents’, an irreverent and satirical take on the real estate industry and the pitfalls of rampant Capitalism. When not consumed by the hustle of making theatre in uncertain times, Kyla can be found in her garden, pretending to know which plant is which; or on the street, causing a ruckus with a mask or a megaphone.
