Adult Physical Theatre Classes, Courses & Workshops with Martine Baanvinger

Kiaora koutou,

I have been teaching drama and physical theatre classes for 12 years in the Tasman Region. I also teach physical theatre workshops and courses throughout New Zealand for art festivals, schools & universities and mental health organizations.

After studying theatre at the Theatre Academy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, I have participated in a variety of physical theatre intensives. Most of these with Lynne Bradley (Australia) and Alys Hill (New Zealand) from Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre Company. Zen Zen Zo has been a strong influence in my teaching and through ‘Zen’ I have gained knowledge in Viewpoints Training, Suzuki Actor Training and Butoh. My gratitude goes out to my powerful teachers and to their teachers which shoulder they stand on.  Viewpoints, Suzuki Actor Training , Butoh and a range of devising theatre techniques are the styles which my teaching is based on.

On a regular basis I teach weekly in the DramaLAB Training Room. The Monday Training Room produces a unique and original theatre show each year.

I also offer several 7-week physical theatre courses each year in the Nelson/Tasman Region.
