The gesture and its intention

21st – 22nd October 2023

Workshop in Physical Theatre taught by Olivier Decriaud

This workshop proposes to play between physical theatre and corporeal mime around the notions of gestures and relationships.

Open to all levels, the workshop proposes a place of discovery for everyone who would like to explore how one can give a gesture, receive it and how we can transform it into artistic expression. All the participants will be invited to develop their artistic skills, to improve their precision and expressiveness and to put their body at the service of their imagination.

Contents:

– Stage presence and dramatic intention
– Physical and spatial articulation
– Rhythm and texture of the gesture
– Physical dialogues and relationships on stage
– Improvisation & creation exercises
