A three-day workshop, which will take place on 13-15/10, meeting every day between the hours 10:00-13:00 at the School of Visual Theatre. Registration is possible for the entire workshop only, partial attendance or switching between workshops, will not be permitted.
“When I enter the studio, also when I go on stage, I always look for the playful zone. When I succeed to create out of play, I feel like I am in my element. Playfulness brings joy, energy, creativity, communication and freedom.”
During the workshop we will watch inspiring pieces, try to learn how to bring playfulness into the studio as well as on stage, how to invent performative games which will help us generate materials, and play different games that brush with performative elements – movement, voice, materials and partnering.
