Workshop about green theatre
Theater in the nature is a research method that aims to bring to the participant a new point of view in which each one can see in nature a living partner with whom to relate in a profound way.
We will work on the body and on the voice, starting from some basic training exercises. We will do it in connection with the environment and natural space. In a second moment we will work to elaborate individual and group improvisations starting from stories, mythologies, characters invented and related to the topic of the relationship of man with nature. Each participant can contribute with stories, songs, dances from the traditions of their own land, or from their own personal knowledge.
On the basis of the improvisations then, a collective theatrical action will be created in the natural environment.
The actor and director of theatre workshop will be Franco Acquaviva www.teatrodelleselve.it
