Content

 

The Atelier draws it's sources from 2 areas:

 

mime corporel dramatique - Etienne Decroux technique.

the training in this artform will encompass technique, repertoire and improvisation.  more infos →

 

technique

the practice: lapin, la corde, offrande  -  daily rituals to tune in.
the sceleton: gammes, triple designs, annelées etc.  -  the basic grammar
the muscles: dynamo rhythms  -  dynamic progression of movement  -  the adjectives
the heart: contrepoids  -  the everlasting struggle of human kind: gravity and it's implications and application  -  the verbs
the soul: les modes de jeux  -  finetuned examination on the degree of stylisation and the performer's focus therin.  -  the unspeakable

 

repertoire

figures, pieces et pas / marches -  concrete examples from Decroux' legacy.

composition

applying the style & technique in the own creative process.

improvisation

the queen of them all. When the sublime language enters into the physical conciousness.
and

mimactiv

the fundus of over 20 years of teaching.
a more playful approach, giving the strict technique some punk & punch.
Oliver-style.
