Physical Theatre Express

PT EXPRESS

In this slightly shorter version of our regular training we will focus on exploring “performative” condition through play, bodily communication and movement. We will propose exercises inspired by the diversity of Physical Theatre practices (which can have traces of contemporary dance, performance art, Butoh, Biomechanics, Viewpoints, Contact Improvisation, impro theatre, impro dance, Grotowski training, emotional practice, etc, etc).

Sometimes we will work more technically, sometimes we will go deeper into improvisation and game. And we will often shift the focus from body-to-body to collective-body or even own-body communication. 

Some aspects that we aim to bring to the class:

  • Building up stamina as well as strength and flexibility (physical and mental)
  • Working on permeability (e.g. for emotions or states)
  • Perception, coordination & presence
  • Bodily listening and communication with a partner/others
  • Coordination & composition in space
  • Using body anatomy & somatic practices for deeper exploration
  • Performative games to stimulate creativity

The training will have alternating teachers. Due to their personal approach, each class will certainly have a different character.

This is an open level class suitable for: beginners / generally interested people / professionals looking for unorthodox approaches / dilettantes looking for pepper for their salad.
