AcTING WORKSHOP

This 3-day WORKSHOP is dedicated to both professional and young actors, as well as performers such as musicians, singers, circus artists, and dancers.

An actor's presence is directly linked to their self-awareness; awareness and presence are one. In this workshop, we will explore the mechanisms of presence through warm-ups, exercises, meditation, and text. We will awaken our individual consciousness and sharpen our collective awareness in the exploration of presence. Step by step on the path to a vibrant and deeply internal understanding of the present moment, which is the beginning of all action.

In English, "to act" means to perform and comes from the Latin "agere," meaning to set in motion, to move forward. An actor is the person who sets in motion an emotion, a sensation, or a perception related to a situation. In this workshop, we seek to connect this action to the full awareness of the present moment, which will undeniably highlight the actor's presence. To be there, to be present, to perform from the present.

Whether you are an actor with a direct connection to play, or you wish to deepen your relationship with play to integrate it into your own work as a circus performer, musician, dancer, or singer, the exploration is the same: it centers on the question, "How can we play from the present moment?" By exploring this question, we will attempt to develop our relationship to our own presence. The goal of the play workshop is to cultivate self-awareness in order to understand what it means to be present.

The workshop is given in French, English, and Spanish with a translator.
