Second summer programme of the Site for theatre practices Lavauzelle
Intensive workshop 2012
August 12-17
Lavauzelle, 23250 Janaillat, France
This worksession is open to young actors, dancers and singers, professional or not, who are willing to immerse themselves in an intensive work. Using several practices as the base of our work, we propose the participants to experience a comprehensive training, which questions everyone’s relationship to the actor’s art.
This worksession stands as an introduction to the theatre we want to promote. It contains 4 sections, led by by young practitioners, all specialized in specific traditions:
Sankar Lal Sivasankaran Nair (pedagogue and co-leader of Studio Kalari, Wroclaw): physical preparation and practice of martial art Kalarippayattu
Przemyslaw Blaszczak (actor and director, Teatr ZAR, Wroclaw) : physical
composition theatre, acrobatics, partner and group work
Marie-Geneviève L’Her (actor and pedagogue, theatre de l’homme ivre, Paris):
basics of corporeal mime, individual and couple physical composition
Jean-François Favreau (actor and director, Teatr ZAR / Théâtre de l’homme ivre) :
singing, from polyphonic traditions (Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily)
The work will take place in an old barn, typical from the craft of the famous « maçons de la Creuse » (masons from Creuse), as well as outside, at the edge of the wood and on the pedestrian paths in the vicinity. It will be held in French and English, according to the possibilities of the group.
> 8 hours of daily work
> in the evenings : meetings, video projections, talks
