Anyone interested in deepening their work on expressive body movement.
S Y N O P S I S
This is an intensive workshop on silent theatrical masks, dedicated to researching the body as the main driving force of scenic creation. Through work with the neutral mask, larval masks, and expressive masks, the course offers a progressive immersion into the analysis and codification of movement, bodily dynamics, and the physical construction of character.
Starting from the mechanics and anatomy of the body, participants develop awareness of the joints, the spine, and the qualities of movement (rhythm, weight, dynamics, and space). The pedagogical journey moves from neutrality toward expressiveness, exploring the relationship between form and movement, nature and animality, inner forces, passions, and character, culminating in the creation of physical, actor-driven dramaturgies.
O B J E C T I V E S
To develop in participants a deep understanding of the body in motion as a scenic language, enabling them to create characters, actions, and physical dramaturgies through work with theatrical masks and gestural theatre.
