Corporeal mime workshop with Mai Rojas (Barcelona) and Niharika Mahandru (London)

Corporeal mime is an genre of physical theater, developed in the early 20th century by Etienne Decroux. The performer is the focal point of mime and the body its main instrument of communication, a free transmission channel beyond universal language barriers.

A piece of mime makes the invisible visible, allowing performers to physically show emotions and thoughts at a high level of abstraction and stylization. This multiplies the possibilities of the artist, giving each performer the capacity to create more freely, while enhancing imagination and clarity.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP APPROPRIATE FOR?

The workshop is open to actors, dancers, movers, interdisciplinary artists and anyone interested in the art of physical theater.

HOW WILL THE WORKSHOP BE STRUCTURED?

Through a series of playful and practical exercises, participants will learn a number of technical tools to help them explore and develop their own creative potential with a high level of stylization and corporeal sculpting. The workshop will cover technique, improvisation, composition and repertoire.
