I seek the essence of movement and expression. The authenticity of each being in their way of communicating with the world and with themselves.

An initiation workshop into the performing arts of movement, especially conceived for people with little experience, or people experienced in one field who are curious about other expressive possibilities of the body. We will use techniques from butoh, clown, gestural theatre and mime to break the preconceived images we hold of ourselves and explore qualities of expression beyond the everyday.

Butoh brings us closer to the body’s potential for being — it helps us break forms and limits, integrate duality and activate the ancestral memory stored in each of our cells. Clown creates a direct connection between the gaze and the heart. Gestural theatre lets us inhabit a concrete imaginary and share that illusion with the audience, making them see something that isn’t there.

You can manage the difficulty of the work by adapting each exercise to your level.

What we’ll work on

• Psychophysical preparation: exercises and games for total availability of the body
• Basic skills of the body as a tool of communication
• Research through improvisation — poetics of the body
• Scenic improvisation
• Scenic creation
