Goossun Art-illery presents

DANCE OF INTENTIONS
a workshop with Roberta Carreri of Odin Teatret

22 & 23 August 2009 – 10:00 to 17:00

Goldsmiths, University of London

Goossun Art-illery is proud to organise this unique opportunity to work with Roberta Carreri of Odin Teatret, within the HamletZar project second residency at Goldsmiths.

Only 4 places available. To register please contact Dafne Louzioti with a text about you and your work (no CVs please).

The workshop with Roberta Carreri is divided into two parts. The first part will concentrate on the actor’s physical training — on the awakening of the actor’s presence. The second part will focus on the work with the voice, comprising exercises that awaken the sonority of the voice and develop the capacity to make vocal actions in the space.

The aim of the workshop is to transmit, in a relatively short period of time, the basis of an actor’s training that can help the young actors to discover their scenic presence through the exploration of a formalized scenic behavior and the experienced actors to provide a way to free themselves of their performing automatism, their own clichés.

  

Each participant is required to come to the workshop with a text of at least 20 lines

Roberta Carreri, actor, teacher and organiser, was born in 1953 in Milan, Italy. She joined the Odin Teatret in 1974 during the group’s permanence in Carpignano, Italy. Taking part in ISTA (International school of theatre anthropology) since its very beginning in 1980, she has come in contact with performing techniques from Japan, India, Bali and China. This has influenced her work as actress and pedagogue. From 1980 to 1986 she has been having important working experiences with Japanese masters as Katsuko Azuma (Nihon Buyo dancer), Natsu Nakajima and Kazuo Ohno (Butoh dancers). She gives workshops for actors all over the world and presents, as a work demonstration, her professional autobiography, Traces in the Snow.

This workshop is supported by Kunstrådet/the Danish Art Council and Goldsmiths, University of London
