Roberta Carreri
DANCE OF INTENTIONS
The workshop with Roberta Carreri is divided into two parts. The
first part concentrates on the actor's physical training - on
the awakening of the actor's presence. The second part focuses
on vocal work, with exercises that awaken the sonority of the
voice and develop the capacity to make vocal actions
in space.
The aim of the workshop is to transmit, in a relatively short
period of time, the basis of an actor's training that can
help young actors to discover their stage presence through the
exploration of a formalised stage behaviour, and to provide the
experienced actors with a way to free themselves of their
performing automatism and clichés.
The workshop focuses on the perception of the individual
actor's presence in relation to space and to other actors
on stage; on how to find ways to be present in the action one is
doing and at the same time be ready to react; on how to find the
axis of the body, work with the "in-tensions" and achieve
a dynamic immobility. The workshop explores different qualities of
energy of the gaze and teaches how to identify different
points in the body where the leading impulse of a movement in space
starts. The participants work with the creation of physical
and vocal actions, and how to carry them out with different
qualities of energy - for example slow motion. And finally the
workshop focuses on vocal training with body resonators
and on the relationship between vocal and physical actions.
