The focus of ATOD’s workshops is on being clear and concise with our bodies. So much of acting and theatre focuses on text based material and the use of voice and expression through words.

ATOD aims to move away from this and free up the body to act and communicate using facial expression, body language and hands. Combining these three methods, stories and theatre are created. The workshops are tailored to meet the needs of different age groups and open the world of non-verbal communication to students.
