Yat Malmgren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yat Malmgren (28 March 1916 - 6 June 2002) Swedish Dancer and Acting teacher.
Malmgren was a key figure at the Drama Centre, London; his teaching approach drew from the applied psychology of movement developed by Rudolf Laban, with whom he collaborated. Malmgren's method of character development is concerned with a technique for expressing the inner state of a character through movement.
There are no official published works on Malmgren's method.
Several institutions around the world teach the method developed by Malmgren, which has come to be known as the "Yat" method. These institutions include the Drama Centre, Gothenburg University - where he became an honorary doctor, The Centre for Performing Arts, Adelaide, and The University of Wollongong.
Malmgren taught a number of famous actors including Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Anthony Hopkins, also Andrew Tiernan, Helen McCrory, Paul Bettany, Michael Fassbender, Anne-Marie Duff, Craig Kelly, John Simm, Sean Harris and Andrew Pleavin
