From Mask to Devising Intensive Training Workshop
The aim of this 4-day (2 weekends) intensive training workshop is to develop a creative actor, combining a systematic training in techniques and a developmental exploration in creative process, based on the pedagogies of both Jacques Lecoq and Etienne Decroux. In a small learning group, you will depart from exercises for techniques and go further to your individual creative journey in search for suitable forms for your physical poem. Techniques will become the building blocks for your own creation.
Taking 'mask-work, embodiment, body & space' as the core stone, the course could be decided into 2 parts:
Part 1: 9 hours of mask-work training.
Focus on the Lecoq's pedagogy, participants are going to explore the use of Larval Mask, Expressive Mask & Human Comedy Half-mask. They will be guide into different imaginative universe of masks and use them as magnifying glasses for different dimensions of humanity and human existence, and their transformation to theatrical expressions.
Part 2: 27 hours of Corporeal expression & devising process.
This part consists of both a technical side and a creative side. On the technical side, the Decroux's pedagogy will guide the participants to go through a series of systematic physical training, so to understand a dynamic structure and sequence of respective body parts, could build channels of the flow of inner life.
Whereas on the creative side, we are going to explore how to construct moving scenes based on Lecoq’s approach to the dramatic territories of melodrama, epic storytelling and tragedy that can touch the audiences’ hearts.
