MUSICAL THEATRE// DIRECTOR WORKS WITH CAST Movement Director Sarah Brignall joined the cast of Animal Farm to develop their movement skills. Working on animal qualities, weight and tension, she put the students through a gruelling hour of hard, physical action. ‘It was really good,’ said student Emma Langworthy. ‘My arms ache but it was great to look at how to use your body and work together with the music to create an image.’ Sarah’s professional, energising approach was impressive to watch and enjoyable to experience. A great workshop. THE POCKLINGTONIAN 91
