Corporeal Mime Workshop
Exploring different aspects of corporeal mime through technique, improvisation and repertoire. This workshop is designed for professional and pre-professional actors, dancers, mimes and performers wishing to give a physical reality to their own ideas. Corporeal Mime created by Etienne Decroux, is an innovative method and a precise technique focusing on the body and physical action in theatre.The study of the Corporeal Mime Technique will include the gestural grammar, body articulation, counterweights, walks and displacements in space, Figures of Style, Mobile Statuary, Dynamorythm and the Musicality of Movement. Participants will study extracts from pieces from the Repertoire of Etienne Decroux. This repertoire is not only a challenging and valuable tool in the mastering of a physical theatre expression, but can become a constant source of inspiration for creation. Improvisation will also be part of the program exploring different themes: "How to be" and "What to do" trusting imagination and intuition to develop a corporeal interpretation in solo, duet and ensemble work.
The Teachers: Steve Wasson and Corinne Soum were the last assistants of Etienne Decroux, and their company Theatre de l'Ange Fou has performed to critical acclaim across Europe, United States, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, India, Japan, and The Middle East. First founded in Paris in 1984, their company and school have been based in London since 1995 and just recently made the jump across the pond to the US to Spring Green Wisconsin where they have created The White Church Theatre Project. We are very excited to bring them to the Twin Cities for a weekend of unique training from these experts in a mime technique that gives structure to ideas and emotion, giving the actor the ability to do what he wants, not just what he can.
