The workshop “Musical Body” is adressed to professional actors, dancers, performers, singers and musicians who want to experiment with the sound capabilities of their body.<\/p>\n
The workshop is based on Jean-Jacques Lem\u00eatre’s great experience as an emblematic composer, musician and instrumentalist of “The Theater of the Sun” (Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Soleil) for many decades.<\/p>\n
Both individual and collective exercises will be conducted leading to a process of musical elaboration. Through this process, each person of the group will explore his\/her own language, not only through the voice but also through the body.<\/p>\n
The students of the workshop will take advantage of\u00a0the rhythmic, melodic and harmonic possibilities of the body, focusing on the steps, the shifts, the movements, the correlations, the breaths, the speed of speech and its signs.<\/p>\n
Those who are musicians can bring a musical instrument with them. The workshop is designed for performers, actors, dancers, singers and musicians, and thus it will lead to the development of their dynamism and flexibility.<\/p>\n
