Acting Workshop
Dramaturgic workshop guided by lectors Kristyna Frejova and Martina Kratka links thought of two worlds.One of them is body language a the second one is technic of spoken word.
We have been captivated by clash of two different worlds, mundane and aquatic, intuitive straightforwardly natural and conform civilization. Drama of Jean Giraudoux "Ondina" is for us basic material for onstage fragment.That will be issue of the workshop. Apart from fairy-tale motive, there is text,that brings humour and pointedly calls ancient struggle between truth and lie, honesty and pretence, faithfulness and betrayal.
Students will learn how to use basic technic of correct breathing, diction, stage timing and rhytm of a dramatic situation.
Together we will analyze text and its meaning towards tractable and free interpretation.
Idea versus body is parallel subject of the workshop.
Work with a mask and motional improvisation should offer adepts of study of acting or ardent theatrical amateurs, flying touch of further dramatic technic.
