OPEN SESSION WORK PROGRAM:
The session will be structured into three main fields:
Dance of intentions: Training with Roberta Carreri
The work is divided into two parts. The first part concentrates on the actor's physical training - on the awakening of the actor's presence. The second part focuses on vocal work, with exercises that awaken the sonority of the voice and develop the capacity to make vocal actions in space.
The work focuses on the perception of the individual actor's presence in relation to space and to other actors on stage; on how to find ways to be present in the action one is doing and at the same time be ready to react; on how to find the axis of the body, work with the "in-tensions" and achieve a dynamic immobility. The work explores different qualities of energy of the gaze and teaches how to identify different points in the body where the leading impulse of a movement in space starts. The participants work with the creation of physical and vocal actions, and how to carry them out with different qualities of energy - for example slow motion. And finally the work focuses on vocal training with body resonators and on the relationship between vocal and physical actions.
The migratory dramaturgy: Training with Raul Iaiza
The work will be focused on the practical relationship and bridges between actor’s training and the creative work. The training will explore different fields with a strong technical content, with exercises that apparently do not have any relationship with the “actor’s dramaturgy”. Physical training will be focused on “classical” exercises: plastics, dynamic-impulse-relation, rhythmic body, floor and dynamic acrobatics, and work with objects. O the contrary, vocal training will be centered on traditional singing, as actor’s Body-Voice paradigm: monodic and choral singing, chironomia, pitch and modulation, voice-movement-space relationship, breathing and emission techniques, physical resonators, vocals, dynamic and agogic.
Quartett: Creative work with Roberta Carreri and Raul Iaiza
The work will be developed through improvisation and dynamic use of space and objects, composition’s exercises, actor's composition and dramaturgy, creative pathway, techniques of montage.
A final montage, based on the proposed theme, will be shown as conclusion of the work.
Working sessions are held every day from 9 AM to 1 PM, and from 4 PM to 8 PM. Other individual sessions will be held at different timing, according with the development of the work.
During the evenings work demonstration, videos, and lectures complementary to the work program, will be offered.
