DELL'ARTE ABROAD: DENMARK 2008
Residential training intensives at Aasen, Denmark
Presented by Dell'Arte, Movenact (Arhus) and Aasen
With Master Teachers Michael Fields & Joan Schirle
Aasen is a rustic center for popular theatre in North Jutland, Denmark. Tucked amid a landscape of North Sea beaches, coastal hamlets, fishing harbors and wild heaths, Aasen is a true retreat for actor training found in a peaceful pastoral setting.
Mask of Melodrama: August 10-15
$750 includes tuition, housing and meals
"Melodrama is the naturalism of our dreams." (Eric Bentley)
A powerful, physical "popular theatre" form, Melodrama is one of the core territories of the Dell'Arte training. Explore the language of gesture, the heightened expression of emotion, and the interplay of the melodramatic archetypical characters of villains, victims and heroes that are at the center of the melodramatic form. Heightened, vivid and reflective of human behavior in ways that could be ripped from contemporary headlines, this workshop will be an exciting immersion into this powerful theatrical form.
The Craft of Comedy: August 17-22
$750 includes tuition, housing and meals
The comic spirit manifests through the craft of the performer. Explore rhythm, timing, focus, partnership, use of the space, the rule of three's, entrance/exit, dynamics, and much more.
The Tragic Gesture: August 24-29
$750 includes tuition, housing and meals
The tragic spirit communicates through the craft of the performer: rhythm, use of space, dynamics and gesture. This workshop examines the poetic dimension of the protagonist or tragic hero(ine). For actors, dancers, directors and teachers.
Classes meet 6 hours daily, Monday-Friday. Courses begin with Sunday night dinner. Fees include tuition, housing and meals. Enrollment limited.
