Corn Exchange Summer Workshops

April 15th, 2009
workshops-picSmallHomeTemplateWKSP2s11111Commedia Workshop For Experienced Players
led by Annie Ryan, artistic director of The Corn Exchange
Annie Ryan invites you to come play, explore and stretch the boundaries and possibilities of the style in a two-week intensive workshop looking at the principles of ensemble physical theatre practice.
Venue: TEAM Rehearsal Space, 4 Marlborough Place, Dublin 1
Date: Wednesday 24 June to Friday 3 July
Cost: €200*
Note to Players:
Rather than throwing you into the deep end straight away, I’d like to go deeper into finding the process of this form. I’m interested less in teaching a course in Commedia as such, but instead to hone a practice as a group that challenges the technique and ourselves as performers. We will also investigate various methodologies and exercises to feed into our practice including physical, vocal and ensemble work including Anne Bogart and SITI Company’s Viewpoints, Joyce and Byrne Piven’s Theatre Games and Story Theatre, various exercises from Le Coq, Complicité, Body Weather Laboratory and Fabulous Beast, who’s recent workshop was an inspiration. (Hence the 8am start.)
The point here is based on a belief in the integrity of rigorous on-going physical training and looking for ways of how we can integrate that into our individual work as actors in Irish Theatre.
