Effort Productions offers 5-week Courses in the work of Yat Malmgren: Character Analysis/Movement Psychology with James Kemp, renowned acting teacher, whose many successful students include: Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Emilia Clarke, Gwendoline Christie, Howard Charles, and many others. 

If you’re an actor looking for new ways to work on character, Character Analysis/Movement Psychology will give you the tools to do so.  In this course you will be introduced to the theory and practice of Yat Malmgren’s work, which breaks down all expressive movements into their constituent parts and links them to the deep seated psychological impulses which underpin them. From these building blocks, ‘character’ can be constructed, either from scratch as a creative act, or from a close analysis of an already existing script as an act of accurate and imaginative interpretation.

The training is based upon the work of two pioneers of 20th Century performance research: Rudolf Laban and Yat Malmgren.  Rudolf Laban, regarded as the architect of European Contemporary Dance, codified a system of analyzing and classifying movement in all its aspects, not only physical, but also in its expressive manifestations and psychological impulses.  Yat Malmgren extended these ideas to create a psychological typology which brings together Laban and Stanislavski. 

This programme is aimed at participants new to this work, but not new to Acting.  This 5-week course serves as an introduction to the 'Yat Book', it entails an explanation of the core principles of the work and how they are applied to the actor's craft.   This programme's holistic nature lends itself to writers, directors, actors, and anyone interested in dramatic storytelling.  

By the end of the classes you will be looking at the world through new eyes, being able to 'read' the movements of those around you for meaning, and to create physically expressive characterizations, which both excite the imagination and serve the writers intensions.
