This is for actors and dancers who wish to create their own work and expand the aesthetics of the body in performance. Over a 3-month full-time training, performers are given physical theatre and contemporary dance skills and the space and guidance to create.
The course is taught over 4 parts:
Part 1: Foundational ensemble and devising practice. Nuts and bolts of physical theatre language. Embodiment of animals and poetic imagery. Laban cube for actors and for movement analysis. Creation task around principles of essentializing and creating huge epic landscapes in small spaces. Basics of ‘Lecoq 20 movements’. Simple structures for constructing movement and emotion. Breaking points in the body. Softening and developing floorwork vocabulary. Foundations in moving the voice. Arriving in your aliveness.
Part 2: Epic and tragic spaces. Journey of the neutral mask. Journey of the hero. Creative writing around seeing the world through a dark mirror. Constructing conflict in the space. Choreographing around paintings – moving still images in 3D space. Tragic Chorus. Approaches to choreography from inner awareness. Monologues. Building vocal skills.
Part 3: Comic territories. Commedia dell’arte, clown. More detailed choreography and devising skills. Acrobatics. Duologue scene work. Vocal characters. Deeper physical skill, choreography around external worlds.
Part 4: Mentored creative projects. Lighter daily teaching schedule. Students create and present their own work.
