Two Autumn 2025 Workshops in London!!!

White horse and Gabrielle

I’m really excited to be giving not one but TWO workshops in London this autumn! The first is my weekend Working in Animal workshop (31 Oct - 2 Nov), open to all. The second is a new offering only for those who have already worked with me - The Animal Speaks workshop is a 6-hour workshop spread over two evenings (10 & 11 Nov). It is of course possible to do both if you wish!

Working in Animal WEEKEND with Gabrielle Moleta

Blurring the lines between the human and the non-human animal

October 31 - November 02

A weekend workshop with Gabrielle Moleta in her detailed method to creating character through working in animal.

“To act is to transform” and this approach gives the actor/performer a physical method of work, with an animal or bird as the source.  You can read about the approach,  ‘Transformation and Imaginative Improvisation’, here.

Timings:

Friday 31st October 6.30pm- 9.30pm

Saturday 1st November 10- 2pm

The knowledge I have learned from Gabrielle has proved invaluable in my own work as both an actor and a writer/director. Her methods of character development form the bedrock of my understanding of character and she remains to this day the most influential and inspiring of my teachers in the dramatic arts. -David Cumming- SpitLip, Operation Mincemeat creator, writer, actor

Working with Gabrielle, a ‘master of her craft’, you will discover this detailed, imaginative approach to enabling transformation through her specific approach in animal. The work has its roots in the work of Jacques Copeau, and has been developed over the last century through a direct lineage of teachers leading to Gabrielle.  

You will develop new habits, come to new discoveries for character creation – both physical and imaginative- through an intensive and nurturing process.

Gabrielle has an uncanny and astute knowledge of the body (and body-mind relationship) as a performance tool and is a master at guiding actors in how to access new ranges in their own work. Her work in (Animal) Transformation is unlike any I have come across. - Fay Simpson, Lucid Body founder
