India | international performers' residential workshop
'After The Storm' INTERNATIONAL PERFORMERS’ RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP with John Britton takes place near Bangalore, 17 February - 3 March 2015. Applications are open to emerging & working performers from all over the world.
'After The Storm' is a 14-day intensive performers’ residency aiming at holistic (psychophysical) training, working towards the integration of thinking & doing. It is a dynamic, physical, improvisatory process that encourages performers to identify & overcome blockages that prevent them from achieving what they might otherwise be capable of.
HIGHLIGHTS
Understanding the core principles of a performance- focus, presence, detail & stillness through various activities developed by John Britton; such as- structured & unstructured solo, duet & group improvisation, ‘The Ball Game’, etc.
Empowering your own performance while understanding how to work efficiently & constructively within the structure of an ensemble.
Being alive & present at every second of your performance, keeping it crisp & exciting.
Using physicality for telling stories, minimising text.
Daily performances in front of an ensemble; increasing stage comfort, facilitating peer learning.
Bridging the gap between theory & practice via ‘negitiva’, i.e. eradicating physical & psychological obstacles for effective use of the self rather than as a process of acquiring skills.
Exploring Shakespeare's ‘The Tempest’ through a dynamic, physical, & improvisatory process, culminating in a performance.
