Movement with Laura Krewski

Choreographer Laura Krewski (West Side Story, Fortune Falls, Vigilante) has worked with the Citadel/Banff Professional Theatre Program a number of years. The participants have daily movement sessions with Laura which helps them understand their bodies better, as well as providing opportunity for better conditioning, improving their strength and improving their flexibility.

The participants are taken through a daily warm-up which is followed by a variety of activities ranging from Pilates, to dance runs, to ballet. Laura also works with fellow instructor Karl Sine to assist in any way she can through the Stage Combat week.

It's best not to joke that her session is 'too easy', because she is ready and willing to push the participants as far as she can. Whether it's Pilates, dance or calisthenics, the participants soon realize that the motto of the Program (Stamina, Strength and Agility of Body, Mind and Heart) is something that Laura takes very seriously. In addition to the daily group movement session, participants also have one-on-one and smaller group sessions with Laura to address their individual needs and challenges.
