TO BE OR NOT TO BE: A MATERIAL
How to use emotional and sensorial memory for the creation of visual theatre. Four-day Masterclass with the Philippe Genty company.
The Philippe Genty company is renowned for its visual theatre productions. The company leads many courses on manipulation of puppets and materials, object theatre, dance and movement and other elements of visual language. This four-day workshop will be led by Eric de Sarria (Drifting, Dedale, Zigmund Follies) and Simon Rann (Stowaways, Le Fin des Terres), long-standing members of the company. We aim to transmit knowledge of the manipulation of materials, puppets and objects, and to stimulate each student in their personal search for their own visual language.
During these four days we will focus on two tools which are central to the artistic process of the company: the manipulation of materials nourished by personal memory.
WORKSHOP PARTICIPATION IS BY APPLICATION IN ADVANCE: please send your CV and a letter of application to cariad.astles@cssd.ac.uk by Tuesday 15 September 2009.
