Sticks and Stones: A process in search of hidden meanings

The workshop will focus on several aspects:

• the performer’s physical training,
• the development of actions inspired by the use of an object,
• vocal exploration: the discovery of an individual rhythm, spatial awareness and dynamism.

The performer’s work evolves from the creation of personal material with the stick as a partner, and culminates in a montage. Throughout the development of this material the performer will weave it with texts, songs and the use of space. The workshop aims at encouraging a personal process opening up hidden meanings.

The participants must each bring: a text and a song known by heart, a phrase extracted from an expression or a nursery rhyme.
