PASSAGE TERRITORY
PHYSICAL THEATRE
WORKSHOP PROPORSAL

The actor / actress narrates through the images that he/she creates and embodies, through the word, voice, skin, bones, sweat. It has the ambition of transporting territories, enchanting, enveloping, enchanting itself, enveloping itself, transporting itself. We are the space where things happen, the place of experience.

 

We will seek to open ourselves to be affected by the experience, develop a research process that puts us at risk. By risk we understand that we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to go beyond limits, to go beyond the comfortable, known, chewed.

 

Enter the studio without knowing what awaits us, take courage to abandon our actions, reactions, feelings and everyday thoughts, suspend the judgement, allow us to be an unknown territory, give us space for a more subtle perception permeated by volatile images, sensations and small pleasures.  

 

Such an experience is like a journey that involves danger, because it seeks to break boundaries, situate ourselves in a vulnerable space and go beyond, until the end, to the possible limit, so that the transformation happens. Life and death as a possibility of rebirth.

WORK STAGES

We will investigate different starting points to generate experiences: diverse physical exercises, music, silence, poetic images, texts, objects, solitude, encounter with others.

 

We will explore the foundations of an Energetic training by seeking to energize the potential energies of the actor / actress, experiencing different muscular tensions and energetic qualities, and thus allowing ourselves to be energy channels.

 

We will carry out exercises that seek to work on the principles of Theater Anthropology and we will raise the question of whether it is possible to approach the body as a difference instead of seeing it through given general principles. What and how does it change from seeing / training the body of an actor / actress as a functional body to seeing / training it as a relational body that is potentiated in the encounter with another actor / actress, with a group, with the public, with time and space.

 

We will let ourselves be carried away by the sensations that our physical actions generate and we will allow emotions and thoughts to run like rivers.

 

We will accumulate experiences that each participant will organize in their own and in his/her particular way in search of an individual technique, of a personal dance.
