This is a workshop close to my heart. This is where my life as a player comes through me.
The tingle that runs through me when an audience is around.
The pleasure of the player.
To play is a state and to play on the stage is a skill
This is a workshop for performers, people looking to expand their experience and train their theatrical play muscles.
The workshop is rooted in the pleasure of play. 'le jeu' inspired by the work of Philippe Gaulier and structured by the techniques and mimo-dynamic work of Jaques Lecoq. Mixed through my own experiences of spending time in front of many an audience on stage and street as well as working with humans of all sizes over the last decade.
To start we will explore the state of being available to play, presence, openness, body and breath. To welcome play and to hunt the play. Through games and stage improvisations we will focus our exploration on the sparkle of pleasure and learn great tools for anyone wishing to understand their craft more.
​​​
You know when you watch a theatre show and its...well.. boring? Its' that! Or NOT that! or around that, they're not playing.. they are doing, they are 'acting' not playfully reacting. We want to enjoy to see humanity playing. I wish to be on the edge of my seat, i wish to breathe and move with the performance.
Then we will get inspired by the dynamic world around us, From elements to animals, materials to colours we will observe, analyse and move dynamics that we will then transpose into the theatrical realm, to gift us a frame to play within. The fire to fuel our play. Taking on new forms, shapeshifting, to become and to move. Exploring a body and movement led way to create and improvise. A tool that will give you a tools for devising and inspiration for future creations
The State of play is one of creation. Once the state is reached it writes alone. You know what to do. No thinking is necessary. We leave the room of acting and move in the space of reacting. To take the moment into your hands and let it play you. To be open to react. Eyes open in a state of aliveness, the audience hooked on your every move and you 2 steps ahead. You don't need to worry about what to do in an improvisation, you need to play.
We will develop in stage craft, movement analysis, writing, improvisation and creation... comic or not.
This workshop is a must for those with an interest to develop their stage play, devising and creation skills. Some stage experience is wished.
