The word in the body
Our experience is written as a memory in the body. The imagination, which is linked to this memory, can therefore be fed by the body.
Aims
Through the infinite play of our geometries and postures, our dynamics and physical and spatial relationships, we will give voice to the different facets that are in us to compose with him characters and his energetic qualities. This will allow us to make them available to create texts or a fabric of stories and situations.
Contents
Starting from the study of the essential movements for our body, we will pass to their application in the construction of the characters, to discover all the elements that compose them. In the end we will have at our disposal multiple tools for an intimate and real construction for our work as actors.
