DESCRIPTION OF THE WORKSHOPS
We should always be interested in the meeting between the human-actor, and the character they create. A meeting in the THIRD DIMENSION. The human lends theirs character, their emotions, reflexes, physiology, physicality, hidden desires, fears, complexes, and passion. The more sincere they are in this process, the more their character is alive - made from flesh and blood, not just from speculation and “an idea of…”. Let's be possessed by their cause, their love and hate, fear or happiness. It's a return to our personality, without the mask. We may feel safer behind the mask, but we are always alone in it. OUR MASKED INSTRUMENT THEN BECOMES JUST A PLAYER! Get to know yourself and accept it. LET OUR BODY BECOME OUR INSTRUMENT. LET US CONSCIOUSLY USE IT IN ACTION. An active instrument is an organic and effective instrument.
