10-day Masterclass

@TROUBLEYN/ LABORATORIUM
Pastorijstraat 23, 2060 Antwerp, Belgium
5 hours / day - 1 pm > 6 pm (Monday to Friday)

We are organising a new session of the Jan Fabre Teaching Group in the Troubleyn/Laboratorium in Antwerp. Participants can take part in a 10-day session! Teachers Irene Urciuoli and Gustav Koenigs.

GENERAL INFO ON THE TEACHING PRINCIPLES CAN BE FOUND HERE
A MORE EXTENSIVE DESCRIPTION CAN BE FOUND HERE

The series of exercises focuses on systematically refining and optimising the quest for the potential of the physical acting (also known as ‘physiological’ acting). The exploration of the evocative imagination of the ‘body as a whole’ is a leitmotif here. In exercises with titles such as ‘the old man’, ‘the tiger’, ‘the insect’, or ‘rice paper/fire’, it’s neither the imitation nor the psychological aspect which takes centre stage, but the exploration of the physical potential of the transforming body. Here, Fabre attaches great importance to breathing, the use of explosive energy, and the articulations of head, torso, and limbs. A lot of input is drawn from the kinetics of cold and warm-blooded animals.
