"The body doesn't lie." Not on stage, and certainly not in movement theatre. Here, it is not about pretending, but about empathising, being and becoming.
The basic ingredients are simple: your body, space, time and your imagination. In this course, we add experimentation with images, themes, sounds, words and each other. Indeed, as a group you learn to sense each other, interact and create group compositions, through viewpoints and other improvisational scores. You throw your body into the fray and are surprised by what emerges on the spot and what we can build on to create exciting theatrical scenes. You also discover your individual qualities as a mover/player.
We flirt with the line between dance and theatre, so this course is ideal for dancers who want to immerse themselves in the theatrical or actors who want to increase their body awareness.
WISPER has several course locations at the DOK Noord site. The Danspunt studio's are one of them. Is it your first time here? Please come in time and make sure to read the information on www.wisper.be/doknoord first. Without these guidelines, it's easy to get lost here!
