Explorations
27/04 – 01/05
11h to 17h
This workshop explores fragments from The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar and Quai Ouest by Bernard-Marie Koltès. We will search within the texts and within ourselves, using mprovisation and physical exploration. The participants will explore how these texts can nourish inner research, theatrical research and stage presence.
The workshop will be held in English and French.
