A 3 day intensive masterclass for professional performers (actors/dancers) and theatre practitioners, led by International Physical Theatre Practitioner, Melissa Eveleigh. The group will explore the performer as creator, look at social and political issues, and will develop devising, visceral physical performance skills, and explore techniques that Melissa has developed over the last 15 years, through making award-winning work in Southern Africa and in the UK working alongside and learning from such world class theatre makers as David Glass.
See http://artsforaction.org.uk/ and http://davidglassensemble.org/
Using the performers body as the starting point, the workshop will explore and strengthen performers' articulation of emotion in the body, use of rhythm, breath, relationship, space, chorus, partner contact and use of games for devising and choreography.
Individual work will focus on both the external and internal - fusing exploration of tension, elements, and mime with work on emotions and opening a liminal imaginative space (dreamlike state) to find a gestural poetic physical language. Pair work will draw on Eugenio Barba and award-winning Gecko Theatre's creative practice to structure relationships, build, and flow. Chorus work will draw on balance/off-balance and push- pull dynamics, rhythm, breath and changing power relations to create visions of society.
This will be intensive, sweaty and provocative!
Come prepared to push your limits. Short pieces will be created and performed with feedback for individuals and groups.
This is appropriate for professional performers, dancers, choreographers and theatre makers.
Admission is competitive as places are limited. Selection will be based on a biography and brief statement saying why this would be interesting for you.
This workshop is being facilitated for free as a way of creating a meeting with performers and exploring potential for future collaboration. A contribution of 500 INR will be sought from participants to cover space. Arts for Action is currently developing 2 pieces of work in collaboration with Indian artists. An audition to form part of an ensemble to be worked with later in the year will take place on Monday 26th February. Please express your interest in this when you send your application.
Limited places available. Send your CV and cover note to info@artsforaction.org.uk to secure you place.
LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU!
Melissa :-)
