The Actor’s Atelier,

The Actor’s Atelier is a 3-year project of the Grotowski Institute divided into three yearly series of work sessions that will be held simultaneously at different partner venues from 2018–2021. Each year, at each of the venues, a group of 14 participants will take part in a course of 4–5 work sessions. Please note the sessions will be led in English. The programme of the Actor’s Atelier in Paris consists of five sessions held in Paris and one session held in Wrocław, Poland. The Paris sessions will take place at La Guillotine, 24 rue Robespierre, 93100 Montreuil. Each session will consist of several-day training in the lines of practice represented by the leaders who hold regular work sessions at the Grotowski Institute in Wrocław.

– Dance in a landscape –

Workshop led by Claire Newland, choreographer, dancer and pedagogue, founder of fondatrice de  Siloe ensemble, between Limousin and Occitanie, specialized in young audience and in situ performance. 

Open to everyone.

Since “Carré d’herbes”, in 2009, Claire is leading in situ movement workshops for adults, school children, teenagers…

Our body, a landscape to discover, to open, the body of the Earth, as a vast, infinite field of experience. Here let resound the notion of edge… 

To let ourselves get immerge in the space of our senses, to enlarge our perceptions, touch and contact, to stimulate our body structure, to connect, let ourselves be hold by the system of our organs. To let the fluxes of movement pass through ourselves, in and around us, in relation to others, to the contextes…

Start from the hearing, in order to challenge the thread of dance, going through exploration processes, scores and improvisation, alone, in couples or in group, in a benevolent environment. We will, as well, explore the place of the witness.

In alternance : inside and outside practices. 5 to 6 hours a day. Take soft clothes, comfortables, walking shoes, hats, light coats. 

Leader : Claire Newland – artiste chorégraphique

– Polyphonies –

Workshop led by Jean-François Favreau, actor-singer, musical theatre director, researcher in traditional singing – L’homme ivre ensemble.

Open to everyone.

The workshop will give us the opportunity to meet our environment, the other (and ourselves) through vibrating, through the touch even more than earing. It will give us opportunity to sing forms coming from traditional cultures (different sound phenomenons coming from different cultures/repertoires). As those traditions, orally transmitted and “anonymous”, we will need to get “invisible” in the mixture of voices but, even more, essential to the group, to be the one carrying the whole utterance – without being deaf to the others.

Using all the instantly available resource, including the “wrong” tones, we’ll aim to make ours the musical formulas, using prosody, timbre, tempo, ornaments… The only criterion will then be not the “right” but the richness, thickness of the sound one’s body can mesure.

The workshop will consist in a physical preparation based on the opening of vibratory spaces in the body. Then, we’ll get to a time of meeting through sound (improvisation) our/other’s bodies, as well as the space, to visit various heights and vowels. Then, we’ll go through several pieces from the traditional repertoires – using the tools of the oral transmission and collective intelligence.

The path of the voice – voice and body workshop

in the footsteps of Zygmunt Molik – with Jorge Parente and Zoé Ogeret

July 22-26th 2018, Site de pratiques théâtrales Lavauzelle, Creuse, France

Zygmunt Molik is one of the main actors of Jerzy Grotowski’s ensemble, who entered the history of theatre in the 1960′. More than an actor, Z. Molik was leading the vocal trainings of the company.

Researcher and pedagogue, he became an important person in the polish «  paratheatre  », developing during 50 years a praxis of vocal training implying the body and the Being. He built a body alphabet, based on precise physical actions, structuring the exploration and discovery of the voice. He taught in France for a long time.

Jorge Parente, actor and director, followed his direction during twenty years, being his assistant. After Zygmunt’s departure in 2010, he became the helder of this tradition, developping his work in France (often in La Guillotine, Montreuil), Poland (The Grotowski Institute) and Portugal.

Zoé Ogeret, actress and Jorge’s assistant, was as well a long term member of the workshops of Z. Molik.

Molik’s methodology can be defined as follows:  A vocal potential emerges from movements in the body. As these movements develop, vibration is released.  The vocal phenomenon which emerges is not only physiological, but also an extension of both a mental state and an identity. In making this connection, vocal explorations utilise all strata of being. 

A typical workshop includes:
– learning the Body Alphabet;
– personal exploration of the Body Alphabet through improvisation;
– working on text and song chosen by participants, both individually and collectively.

Through the exploration of body and voice, we invite each participant to discover and experience their own unique vocal identity and to enter into the unknown.
