Brochure - English translations of course offerings

In studying the unique qualities of the puppet and questioning the unrest that it
creates, we will see how it has contributed to renovate the collective consciousness
of theater, both from the authors’ (Jarry, Maeterlinck, Minyana, Novarina…) and
directors’ points of view (Craig, Kantor, Wilson,…), and has allowed for the rising of
hybrid and interdisciplinary spectacular forms, populated with strange and
worrisome presences (Genty, Marthaler, Marin).
Theater and Opera
Gilles Gleizes
After having given presentations on plays that have inspired operas as well as on
their booklets and music, we will work on an extract from these plays.
Speaking the 17 th Century
Julia Gros de Gasquet / Manuel Weber
In this workshop, we will study different ways to embody the 17 th century today
through speech. Far from limiting ourselves to theatrical texts, we will explore
fiction prose, poetic texts, dedicatory letters, oratory, defense speeches… We will
attempt to recreate these voices in contemporary bodies and voices. We will rely
particularly on rhetorical analysis of these texts and the ways in which the body is
used through action.
Processes of Dramatization
Bernard Grosjean
We will experiment, by putting into play different processes of dramatization
(situations, texts, images, characters, …) and studying how we can understand what
occurs on stage. We will also ask questions about improving scenes by
implementing critiques and everyone’s proposals.
This workshop is intended for those who wish to frame other workshops and to
work in groups.
