Formation  at  Atelier  des  Mimes  Berlin

 

Besides creating mime-shows, Atelier des Mimes is dedicated to training and forming physical performers. Since fall 2013, Atelier des Mimes has held 8 intensive workshops (we call them Ateliers) from 7 to 16 weeks at 16h/week. Since then, we had several dozens of students from about 10 different countries.

Atelier des Mimes is aiming at performers who want to express in a meaningful physical way, beyond simple narration and illustration, rather reveiling inner motions of a figure on stage: feelings, emotions, thoughts. The approach in getting there is a physically very demanding practice (in part 'corporeal mime' after Etienne Decroux) - giving the performer a vocabulary, that opens for new ways of expression - in conjunction with research in play, improvisation and composition - opening action on stage for a language different to mere representation, unbound to the logic of words, allowing for a profound intelligence of the body coming from deeper to reveil.

The aim is a transformation of the craftsman on stage towards presence, precision, playfulness, impulsivity and virtuosity in shape and rhythm.

 

 

The next Atelier - No. 11 - will run in autumn 2018 in Berlin.

Move!

 

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 stylisation and the performer's focus therin. - the in between lines

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 researching and teaching.

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

Oliver-style.
