The gesture and its intention

22nd – 23rd October 2022

Workshop on Physical Theatre

This workshop’s aim is to play with physical theatre and corporeal mime around the question “Which gesture do we need nowadays?”.

Open to all levels, the workshop provides a space of discovery for all those who wish to explore how we can give a gesture, how we receive one and how we can transform it into an artistic content. All the participants will be invited to develop their artistic skills in relation to this question, to improve their precision and expressivity and to put their body at the service of their imagination.

Contents:

– Stage presence and dramatic intention
– Physical and spatial articulation
– The rhythm and texture of movement
– The weight as a dramatic tool
– Physical dialogues and relationships on stage
– Improvisation & creation exercises
