The Body Speaks
A workshop to learn about performative art for the very young.
Every person possesses diverse means of communication beyond verbal language: the gaze, facial expressions, and bodily expression send non-verbal messages that are sometimes faster and more effective than words.
In fact, the interpretive sequence begins with thought, followed by gesture and then words.
Often, gesture is so expressive that words become superfluous. A person is their body: they are both instrument and musician and must be aware of and know all the characteristics and colors that their instrument possesses in order to draw out the best sounds.
Informal theatrical meetings for up to 20 participants to offer opportunities for creative expression and artistic experimentation based on 3 focal points:
Listening to the other.
A theater workshop that allows one to explore their own physical and emotional possibilities with the goal of transforming their limits into curiosity and wonder.
The workshop is aimed at artists and educators interested in exploring their expressive abilities with the goal of expanding the possibilities of interaction with children aged 0 to 6 years.
Based on 3 focal points:
- Emotional expressiveness;
- Listening to the other
- Communication and storytelling through an object;
New Works Roundtable
