Weekend Workshops January 2013
Two weekend workshops announced in association with the London International Mime Festival.
Workshop 1: The Poetic Body
Sat 19th & Sun 20th January 2013, 10am - 4pm
£100 for the two days
Taught by Thomas Prattki, Founder and Director of LISPA, and other members of the LISPA team.
This weekend workshop explores the idea of embodiment as a key element in the process of developing original art. Through use of the Neutral Mask, a cornerstone of LISPA’s teaching philosophy, participants are invited to make links between movement and emotion, life and art, the physical body and the poetic body. Additionally the work will serve to gain a deeper understanding of the essential dynamic forces within any art form, their vital function in the construction of artistic work, and how to apply them to dramatic creation. This workshop is designed for those practitioners interested in exploring physical theatre. It also serves as a preparation for the Devising Theatre and Performance workshop.
Workshop 2: Devising Theatre and Performance
Sat 26th & Sun 27th January 2013, 10am - 4pm
£100 for the two days
Taught by Thomas Prattki, Founder and Director of LISPA, and other members of the LISPA team.
The idea of the performer as a creator of her/his own work is no longer a fringe phenomenon, but reflects the broad desire of an entire generation of performers to develop their very own artistic voice and to take creative responsibility in shaping their vision of life. This two-day workshop offers an introduction to both collaborative and individually devised theatre and performance practice. It addresses all performers, dancers, actors, directors and teachers who have a specific interest in the idea of devising original work.
SPECIAL DISCOUNT: Book both workshops together for a discounted price of £175 for all four days.
