'The Mouvement is the base of everything, our body is the first withness of the play'
Jacques Lecoq

The body and the words can't be separeted, they must exist in harmony. We need to prepare the body to receive the words and use it to increase the meaning of them. Our body is our first and most important instrument of communication. We'll educate it to better receive the words and use it to generate emotions.

Theatre is action, verb, Mouvement. Accions, situations, characters, scenes... All of them are composed of diferent elements of Mouvement. We'll observe and analyze the Mouvement and dynamics of the elements in life and learn how to applicate them to our playing on Stage.

We'll create characters and situations:
from the body motors and not from ideas,
from the observation and not form the introspection,
from the Mouvement and not from the psychology,
from the present and not from the memories,
from the play!!!


'One needs ears to discover a text, it's the body who listens, suffers, has pain, waits...'
JACQUES LECOQ

Pablo Ibarluzea (Spain) and Sara Lewerth (Sweden) are both diplomated by the École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq of Paris. They are experienced actors and Teachers with International experience.

We are supported by the Culture Department of the Basque Gouvernment and the Council of Laudio-Llodio and we can offer relocation allowances to the students coming from out of the Basque Country.

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP FOR ACTORS:

"Movement, Dynamics & Mask playing"
7th to 25th September 2008
09:00h to 14:00h (390€)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Theatre is action, verb, Mouvement. We'll observe and analyze the Mouvement and dynamics of the elements in life and of structures created by the students. Then we'll learn how to apply that in our work with masks.

The workshop will be extended over a period of 3 weeks, 5 hours by day (total 75h). The sessions will start by physical activity in order to activate the body. Then we'll pass to Mouvement analysis and pantomime techniques. Finally we'll go into the mask playing. Work will be based on two axes: Improvisation and Mouvement analysis.

- The Improvisation is a basic part of every creative process. We'll work in order to liberate the actor's first impulse, the uncalculated answer. Then analyze it with the group to encourage the critic capacity of the students. We'll discover the different applications of the improvisation in the creative process.

- The Mouvement analysis will improve the actor's observation of life and their capacity to acquire the different dynamics with their own body. This will help the actor to improve his body conscience, to develop his expressivity and to recognize impulses in order to create characters or situations that work on stage. At the same time, we'll also observe the dynamics of structures, forms and volumes. We'll start with simple ones and then we'll observe more and more complex ones. These structures will introduce us into mask playing. We will work on recognizing their volumes and how it influences the characteristics of the characters. Working with structures we'll look for the precision of the mouvement. The mask will later help us to approach the character.

- This work will be completed by the Space analysis. The knowledge of the space is necessary to understand all the previous themes. We'll recognize the directions of passions, emotions and characters in the space.

The students will be constantly facing the creative process during the workshop. This will oblige them to look for solutions to the problems that they will find, sometimes alone, other times in group. The creative-actor needs to develop a creative capacity and how to use it in a group work. The actor will learn to propose and defend his own propositions and to accept the other's ones. This exchange of ideas is necessary during the creative process. It helps us to analyze the work and it encourages the critic observation. The group will be composed by actors coming from different places and countries, making this exchange precious.

We'll work with several types of masks; from the most abstract ones (creativity and poetry) to the more humanized ones (to define the theatre rules). We'll pass over: object-masks, larva-masks and full and half masks created by the students themselves. The half masks of commedia will be the introduction of the text on stage.

All this process will be guided by Pablo Ibarluzea (Spain) and Sara Lewerth (Sweden), both actors and teachers graduated from École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris with an extended acting experience and collective creation knowledge.

We are supported by the Culture Department of the Basque Country and the Council of Laudio-Llodio and we can offer relocation allowances to the students coming from out of the Basque Country (for a limitated number of people, we'll accept in order of arriving).
