The workshop aims to be an introduction to the research work developed within the International Performing Arts project “Rags of memory” and consists in the transmission of the specific physical and vocal training created for the project to introduce participants to the creative process.
Within the workshop, the participants will learn how to overcome their own limits and discover a process that leads to free the natural flow of energy in order to reach an organic unity of body and voice. This organic way of acting is an essential element in the search of truth by the performer who is seeking a lost memory, which is under his skin.
The physical training proposes a work on rhythm, space, different energetic temperatures, impulses and qualities of movement, relationships and interactions among individual and choral actions, and it includes the study of plastic forms, elements of acrobatics, fragments of ritual dances.
Through an active work on his memory and on the stimulation of his own inner and fantastic imaginary, this process brings, in a natural way, to the rediscovery of one’s own organic voice. The vocal training, in fact, has not the sole purpose to technically train the voice but also to connect the body with its spirit and its own abilities of expression.
