Patrick Campbell
Theatre-maker and researcher
My work draws especially on laboratory theatre techniques that can help to discover new ways of connecting body, breath and voice. My approach is “psychophysical”, so that the imagination always comes into play, alongside a growing awareness of the body in action and its connection to vocal research and discovery.
My aim is to help people to develop a greater awareness of their physical presence and of its relationship to their inner world and to vocal expression.
