For this week-long intensive workshop, our leading question will be: how to extend the realm of what’s possible for the actor on stage?
Inspired by the work of Etienne Decroux and his assistants, as well as building on Theatre Re’s critically acclaimed repertoire, we will explore concrete ways to unlock the full expressive potential of the body. Through playful and rigorous training, participants will learn how to use liberating and clear vocabularies to create highly physical work.
Each day will begin with physical conditioning, then progress towards ensemble work, technique, repertoire, and culminate in the opportunity to devise a short presentation true to the Theatre Re process.
This five-day workshop is led by Guillaume Pigé (Theatre Re Director and RADA Associate Teacher) along with core Theatre Re members. It is designed for professional and semi-professional performers, actors, dancers as well as visual artists, students and recent graduates. No previous experience of Corporeal Mime is required to join, only your curiosity and playfulness.
Guillaume Pigé is the Artistic Director and founder of Theatre Re. Originally from France, he has been living in the UK for the past 18 years. He trained with theatre makers and directors such as Andrew Visnevski, Steven Wasson, Corinne Soum, Daniel Stein and Thomas Leabhart.
His practice looks at intimate, difficult to talk about and sometimes taboo life experiences, and turns them into moving, viscerally physical, visually striking poetic theatre to address global human challenges.
His work has been performed in more than seventeen countries, notably at The Cerventino Festival (Mexico), Hong Kong Arts Festival, New Victory Theater (USA), National Taichung Theatre (Taiwan), National Centre for Performing Arts (China) and London International Mime Festival (UK). He has been an Associate Teacher at RADA since 2011 and is regularly invited to give workshops about Theatre Re's creative process and physical language throughout the UK and internationally.
