Fixed Point: The Magic of Stillness
About
Lead teacher: Kimberley TwinerFixed point could be explained as ‘choiceful articulated stillness’. It is a performer’s best friend and a director’s essential tool.
The term ‘fixed point’ appears in the Lecoq lineage of movement theatre training. Actors in this brand of training are often given tasks, exercises and provocations to train the technique of fixed point. It becomes short hand to devise, direct and feedback on stage performance.
The awesome thing about attending to fixed point is that it makes theatre more theatrical!
The player/improviser with an awareness of fixed point will be able to create engaging work because they will be attending to stage picture, gesture, the creation of space, manipulation of space, marking action and essentially shaping what the audience is seeing.
Some stage actors move so much that the audience can’t actually see anything on the other end of the polarity where the actor stays still for too long so the action, the drama slowly… slips… away.
