The Urge of Being - workshop for performers2-day workshop for performers
by Daniela Marcozzi / Marcozzi Contemporary Theater (MCT)
With the assistance of the performers and collaborators of MCT Ilaria di Maio, Jacob Boeno, Melissa Derio and Stephanie Day.
The Urge of Being is a group-based training and research process that includes tools of physical theater, vocal training, movement research, techniques of embodiment, composition and dramaturgy.
It is a flow of work in which specific exercises are organically orchestrated with free and improvised moments.
The work includes the the Plastique Sequence and Body-voice derive from J. Grotowski's training and research that Daniela has learnt from Peter Rose, a theater director and performer from NYC, former student of Grotowski.
In the context of this workshop the Plastique Sequence aims to "open" the performer's body and bring it into direct and authentic relationship with the other people and the rest of the environment.
The Body-voice training is a dynamic study of the body's resonators, focusing on how to work with the voice while in motion, activating the body's resonators organically, to make the voice an active and integral component of the physical work.
The workshop puts the performers' organism in the condition of continuously adjusting its homeostasis in order to position itself in the present moment and space and quickly react to the given situation.
The driving force of the work is urgency, understood as an unconditional urge to survive at any level. The work invites performers to consciously generate their own urgency by working with the body's internal impulses.
This condition is called Artistic Survival Mode by Daniela, and it has been developed during her Master's degree in Artistic Research at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri in Lugano, Switzerland.
Far from being a condition of panic, the Artistic Survival Mode is a condition in which performers consciously place themselves out of balance physically, emotionally, spiritually, etc., out of known performance patterns, drawing their energy from the body's impulses.
In this way, impulses become the main source of performative energy.
This is a give and take process, and it consists of the continuous interaction between expression and embodiment.
This type of approach creates different energetic processes that allow the performers to work with the emotional system from the inside-out and embodiment processes from the outside-in.
We'll build energetic processes capable of bringing the text and voice into the body and to integrate movements and dance in the emotional and embodiment processes. The performers are invited to work across performance categories rather than within any single category with the aim of creating a complete performance experience in which the performer's body is involved in all its spheres in a harmonious, orchestrated and free way.
Riding the waves of different energetic processes, we will combine body, movement, text, voice and imagination, to bring our dramaturgy to life.
