Professional Development Program - Module 1 - The Poetic Body
THE POETIC BODY
11 October 2011 - 27 October 2011 (across three weeks)
11 days, 10.45am - 6.15pm (with breaks)
Module 1 explores the idea of embodiment as a key element in the process of developing original art. Through a highly physical approach to music, painting, poetry and other phenomena, 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.
Morning classes prepare the body through Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais and vocal training, followed by intensive improvisational work in the afternoon. The module is offered in collaboration with the ‘Spacelab’ at LISPA, where participants are invited to approach the idea of a poetic body through painting, sculpting and constructing.
