2. The ritual and physical practices of a performer, 23. - 25. July, lecturer: Matej Matejka
How to keep physical body in a “tuned instrument” state, capable of complex and sharp expressions? By integral involvement of body and mind, the body becomes a shiny reflection of inner thoughts and a a channel for itself. By combining of dance, movement and acting techniques, we´ll try better to understand the connection between the body and the mind of an actor-dancer / performer.
