WORLD THEATER

This 2,5 hours 10-week acting workshop in English will have you moving, exploring space and body
through physical warm ups, vocalizing and freeing the instrument to listen and react spontaneously and
create real connections in collaborative dramatic/comedic work. Once we have created an ensemble we
focus on the physicality of the actor on stage, bringing characters to life through voice and body work,
telling a story, building a history based on inner truth and outward expression. We then apply this work
to characters created in improvisations, scenes and monologues from classical theater. Experienced and
beginning actors welcome. A good level of English is helpful.
Wear comfortable clothes to move in and bring water.
10-12:30 Wednesdays
LOCATION: Campus Jussieu – L’Espace des Arts et de la Culture ( EDAC ) salle de répétions 1 en
face de la bibilothéque L1 (RDC)
