«The body is not any more an obstacle that isolate mind from itself.»
Gilles Deleuze, Cinema 2: The Time-Image, 1989

PHYSICAL on STAGE is an introduction to the use of Physical Theatre techniques focused on performers —both dancers and actors— who aspire to transgress the definition of the conventional performance and get into the field of experimentation. It aims to establish the basis for a physical language training understood as the main driving force for the dramaturgy of a postdramatic staging. It intends to make the performer aware of his role in the creative process of an inclusive performance. To do this, we offer a guide that can help the performer to explore and develop his initiative and creativity and try to motivate him to deepen into his knowledge & skills.

Main Programme

PARTICIPANTS

This workshop is aimed at dancers & choreographers and any interpreter who is interested in how to use their body on stage, when facing any kind of performance. Whether it is the world of classical or modern dance, the contemporary, any interpreter with his specific training can become aware of a new approach when preparing his work scenic and, above all, when organising their training. During the working sessions we will made all kinds of exercises that will help them to treat different aspects of physical work.

WORKING SESSIONS

Three four-hour working sessions in which there will be raising diverse subjects in a practical and playful form. At the end of each session we will dedicate some time to comment and evaluate the experience in order to be able to draw some pedagogical conclusions.
