LET’S PRACTICE THEATRE  in  FRENCH LANGUAGE STARTING FROM EXTRACTS OF TEXTS of AUTHORS OF TODAY.

We are going to : 

- Explore the fundamental parameters of acting, starting from texts of nowday authors.

- Concern the students with the originality and the particularities of contemporary writings. 

- Give the necessary tools to get used to a language, to play, to confront oneself with the theatrical tools, get personal satisfaction in the process of playing, use one’s personal imagination.

Work with our body and our voice,  thanks to exercises bringing into play  personal commitment, taking risks, individual and collective, physical involvment when dealing with the author’s words.

The contemporary language: how does it make theatre? – how do we  think the show in the present – dramaturgic analyze of the situation – when we play, we have to be conscious of a few  rules…which are they ? 

We will also start from a set of themes suggested before the workshop : Our relation to other persons and then the meaning of intimicy close friend in our perpetually shaken up societies, woman considered by man (To sweat on clean sheets), withdrawal in our everyday life (Ctrl-X), the couple today.

We will draw we the space starting from  texts and from every one’s proposals. 

We will work starting from short pieces of texts. I will propose two pieces  for each text. The groups will be done in the very first day. I will listen to personal desires to choose other extracts. A personnal choice will have to be argued. 

The authors will be Pauline Peyrade and Tarik Noui. Two authors who will come to the festival Actuelles at the TAPS ( public and contemporary theater of Strasbourg,  in March 2016.  Festival I am in charge of with Aude Koegler. I will make a follow-up of these evenings of readings to the students of Innbruck. These authors will tell us how to write for the theatre today. 

Creation of a group dynamics by analyzing the text (how is the reader, and then the actor concerned by the lines? How will his body react ? ) 

- All the proposals of the group will be integrated intothe working process. Interactive work. 

–Make links between the  text and the stage scene starting from exercises and precise instructions.

- Work will always be done starting from the training actors, from their presence and their physical présence.

- the improvisations will help the students to express themselves in  personal ways

- In all the cases, we will remain demanding in work, attentive with all the creative capacities of each one. The experimentation will be more important than the concern of any result.

The love is exchanged against love it cannot have of another possible transaction with that… I do not earn there money and I do not make trade of my body… one does not give me anything.
