Registration opens
Registration opens for Summer stage 2021. The Summer stage is composed of 4 intensive weekly courses: Neutral Mask, Clown, Social Theatre and Theatre of objects. You can enroll into all the 4 courses or choose one or various you are interested in.
The objective of the Summer Stage is to introduce Jacques Lecoq pedagogy and discover some of its main tools: the dramatic image and the concepts of movement through the work with the Neutral Mask, your own Clown and the laws of comedy, the tools for theatrical creation and the poetic dimension of the theatre of objects.
Neutral Mask
5/07 - 9/07
The neutral mask develops the presence of an actor in the space that surrounds him. It allows to get rid of physical tensions and develop corporal plasticity. The mask puts an actor into the state of discovery, openness, availability to receive. It allows to see, to listen, to feel, to touch fundamental things with a freshness of the first time.
We will work on the basic concepts of body movement (economy, articulation, accentuation, breathing, rhythm, projection) and fundamental acting skills (stage presence, urgency, receptiveness, action – reaction, movement of the body in space and a dramatic image).
Clown
