Three days of ‘Michael Chekhov acting technique’ with Anna-Katharina Andrees
30th October – 1 November, 2020
Wilhelminenhofstr 91, 12459 Berlin

Tools for circus artists and performers in new circus.

Let’s continue our exploration with the Michael Chekhov Technique – this time focusing on specific tools for improvisation and ways to structure your composition, your creative process or just your personal rehearsal/ training. Structure can be freeing – just as improvisation can bring you to clarity.

It is not necessary to have done the previous workshops. Basic tools will be repeated. Continue reading “Your Creative Space 4.0 – Anna-Katharina Andrees”

Mask Theatre Workshop with Francesco Procopio
05-06 December, 2020
Wilhelminenhofstr 91, 12459 Berlin

The aim of this workshop is to provide a basic knowledge of mask and movement theatre through an exploration of larval masks. Larval masks feature prominently in the Carnival traditions of Basel, Switzerland.

Originally very colourful, Lecoq decided to modify the masks, making them plain in colour and design. This simplicity allows actors to embody psychologically complex states, inviting them to ‘complete’ the mask using the movements of their own body. Continue reading “Larval Masks – Francesco Procopio”
