I took the 'Theatrical Movement and Gesture' course at Stanmore School of Business, and it was a great experience. The course content was well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. I liked that we had the opportunity to work on various exercises and projects, which helped me develop my skills in a hands-on way. The instructor was knowledgeable and provided helpful feedback, although I would have liked more interaction with them. The course materials were good, but I felt that some of the examples were a bit dated. Overall, I'm happy with what I learned, and I think the course was a good value for the price. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on Laban movement analysis - it was fascinating to learn about the different types of movement and how they can be used to convey emotion and character.

I recently completed the 'Theatrical Movement and Gesture' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening experience. The course provided a detailed and systematic approach to understanding the principles of theatrical movement and gesture, which I found to be extremely helpful in my own practice as a theatre practitioner. The instructor was well-versed in the subject matter and provided clear and concise explanations of the key concepts. The course materials were also of high quality, with a good balance of theoretical and practical elements. One area that I found particularly useful was the section on gesture analysis, which provided a framework for understanding the different types of gestures and how they can be used to convey meaning and emotion. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their skills in theatrical movement and gesture, although I do think that some of the course materials could be updated to reflect more contemporary practices and theories.
