Character Analysis
& Movement Psychology

Movement Psychology or ‘Character Analysis’ is the product of a 50 year study of human expression, conducted initially by Rudolph Laban in collaboration with William Carpenter - and completed by Yat Malmgren.

​

It offers a profound system for categorising and understanding human expression, which may be utilised by actors, directors, writers, creative thinkers - people who want to explore it in-depth, and learn how to use it to expand their capacity to transform. 

​

It was taught by Yat Malmgren and Christopher Fettes, co-founders of Drama Centre, London, to generations of actors. It is a core part of our advanced training courses, here at GFCA

Where does it come from? - a brief introduction to the work, by Giles.

Giles is a leading contemporary exponent in the UK, USA, and across Europe, having further developed the teaching, in collaboration with Christopher Fettes, and other expert colleagues, over more than fifteen years,

​

Giles’ workshops involve the progressive unfolding of all the elements of the technique, in 4 stages – alongside opportunities to embody what has been covered, through practical exploration and in especially-developed acting exercises.
