What is the approach |
This workshop invites participants to explore the anatomical structure of their body in order to best compose the different characters they embody in the different theatrical creations. This is based on an exploratory journey into the anatomical and emotional palette of the body.
This method aims to best equip artists to build and structure the characters they embody and to exist through the organic body of a creative actor. With eutonia exercises, the artist manages to control his breathing rate and assimilates his psychological function to mark his signature on stage. |
what is the objective of the workshop |
Without recourse to speech the participant will write sentences with his body and develop an ability to hear, feel his body and express himself organically.
