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.

 

mimactiv

the fundus of over 20 years of teaching.

a more playful approach, giving the strict technique some punk & punch.

Oliver-style.
