Character building
with Míriam Escurriola
In this course we see the interpreter as an athlete of emotions; a being in which the mind-body-voice connection is an open channel for creation, research and training for the construction of the character and scenes.
Throughout the different sessions, physical and interpretive technical tools are developed and systematized based on forms of expression with the body, psychomotor physical qualities of coordination, and conditional physical qualities.
We will also apply key principles through the body and movement, exploring a range of processes such as the training line of Grotowski and Eugenio Barba, the imaginary in the body from Lecoq pedagogy or Laban‘s efforts to construct qualities of movement and emotions.
(*) This course is aimed at actors, actresses and students who have completed the third year of Teatro y Consciencia©.
Objectives
- Explore the relationship between movement and emotions for an organic interpretation using the body as an instrument to create, express and communicate.
- Explore the dynamic and creative relationship between image – movement – emotion – word.
- Know the relationship between the physical structure and the text: speeds, qualities of movement, directions in space and actions.
- Discover other languages and non-realistic scenic and artistic disciplines and be able to relate them to each other.
- Enjoy and reconnect with the power of your own body, instinct and deep information to live on stage without restraints and with freedom.
