SEARCHING INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
Workshop led by Carolina Pizarro and Luis Alonso
The participants will learn strategies to create scenic material using training as a bridge of creation, providing an experience to identify performative needs, broaden their references and promote the discovery of their own creative voice through working in group.
The sessions combine theoretical and practical work leading the development of acting techniques that enable the participant to find organicity between their mind, voice and body.
Principles of the training:
- Balance between mind – body and emotion
- Breathing awareness and active relaxation
- Focus, resistance and endurance
- Levels and directions in space and time
- Rhythm and musicality
- Playfullness
- Flow and awareness of the body’s centre, grounding.
“Energy in action” by Carolina Pizarro
This module is focused on the research about “pre-expressive level of acting” in order to discover different kinds of ”energy in action” and how to apply this in a creative process. For that purpose, we gather and offer a dialogue between concrete tools of ancestral disciplines, like Kalaripayattu (Martial Art from India) with different principles such as repetition, composition and opposition based on the Theatre Anthropology.
The participants will use silence, diverse music and texts in order to dialogue with tiredness and develop resistance, patience and perseverance; increase effort capacity and keeping calm by being in present.
2. “Dwell the abyss” by Luis Alonso
Work in stilts: learning how to safely stand up, walk, fall and jump as if stilts would be our own legs.
During the process of understanding how to walk with “new legs”, the participants will explore their creativity based on the notion of creating from uncertainty.
By giving “First Steps” in stilts, the participants will deal with their resistances and fears through exercises that are designed to confront the doubt and improvise with their best dedication and disposition in face to challenges. In this way, create and generate new ideas, using their strenghts and phisical intellingence to ignite their individual art purposes. Having a new body could lead us to learn how to walk again.
