Presentation – Diploma programme

The 2 years Diploma Programme in physical theatre is divided into five main blocks: technique, improvisation, composition, repertoire and creative practice. It is a specific training focused on corporal mime. Furthermore, it also includes other subjects such as actor’s training, dance, physical training and vocal work, with the aim of enriching the creative and expressive possibilities of the students.

The specialisation programme (3rd year) allows students to finish their training with a project of their own devising. This project is closely mentored by the Moveo teaching team and encourages the possibility of forming companies for future projects.

The main objective of this artistic training is for students to acquire the knowledge and methods that allow them to use their physicality as a central element of creation and interpretation. Additionally, the training we offer facilitates the development of methodologies that ensure stage movement effectively reflects the forces at play in both dramatic and non-dramatic situations (relationship, state of mind, conflict, desire, etc.). The performer’s body is at the service of their imagination and is placed at the centre of the drama thus making it the centre of theatrical creation.

METHODOLOGY

The training offered by Moveo is a training aimed at the performing arts. Therefore, it is essential that the students, within the school, can face the stage experience, the reality of working in public, whether it is the rest of the study group or an external audience.

The methodology of each learning block involves a continuous alternation of technical study phases and presentation phases. These presentations are also an opportunity for students to receive continuous feedback on their work. Each block concludes with a presentation, whether open to the public or not.

The Moveo training  aims at bringing together all the learning blocks in order to generate a transversal knowledge of the different skills of the physical theatre actor/actress/creator.

Furthermore, each level concludes with the public presentation of a performance directed by Moveo teachers.
 During the course, the students work in different modalities: collective work of the whole group, separated by levels or in reduced groups.
