Physical Theatre Workshop: “Creative strategies of the stage performer”, taught by Alberto Menéndez García.

Date: October 8, 2023.

Time: from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The workshop will consist of four modules that will be addressed in three hours of work (from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.).

1. Physical training, understood more as a functional path to body expressiveness than as calisthenics for body conditioning.

2. The body on stage, based on some elements proposed by Anne Bogart in her scenic points of view (tempo, body shape, repetition, kinetic response and spatial relationships).

3. Playful corporality (which is the work with the obstacle as a “new form of the body” in pre-expressive development).

4. Eye contact (disalienation and awareness of the gaze in working with the body).
