BODY VOICE IMAGINATION

The workshop focuses on how to solve theatrical situations always starting from the body.

It is a very intense physical proposition. It safely bring students further from their theatrical comfort zone. Helping them to experience new ways to understand themself as performers.

Main principles

• Neutral presence and breathing consciousness
• Physical awareness and energy levels
• Calm and chaos
• Action and reaction – begin and end of actions
• Mime and embodiment – Acting and overacting
• Repetitions and playfulness
• Theatrical use of space
• Construction of a theatrical situation
• Emotion of audience and emotion on stage
• How to laugh : difference between gag, tensions, surprises
• Travel from movement to theater and coming back
• Words like movement – movement like words

The workshop is created in order to offer to the students a frame where feel free to express as performer, and where focus on acknowledge each one’s own stage presence, enriching the confidence of personal solutions towards theatrical challenge.
