The Musicality of Movement

A workshop on movement and theatre, aimed at professionals. The workshop is part of  the festival Figur i Fossekleiva (9th – 14th of October) and tickets are included. 

During the workshop we will work towards the development of body awareness with expressive and communicative objectives, as well as the acquisition of tools that will allow us to expand our vocabulary and body grammar within our field of personal work.

How we will do it:

• We will remember or introduce, in a practical way, the fundamental concepts of stage acting: weight, breathing, presence, the look, the walks and the displacements.
• We will tune our instrument: warming up, organicity and economy of movement.
• Technique and fundamental principles of physical mime and theatre (body articulation, movement chronology, precarious balance, the law of proportions, the economy of movement, the hierarchy of expressive elements, pre-gesture and postgesture, etc.).
• We will focus on the design, rhythm and intensity: the musicality of the movement.
• Finally we will put these tools into practice in contexts of improvisation, play and open the way to the creation of body phrases, which will invite us to investigate dramaturgy and body writing.
