“Nothing that travels comes out unscathed” is a fragment of Pala’s song that is relevant and sums up the artistic experience and learning that this workshop aims to achieve.

The aim of the course is to provide the student with theoretical and practical tools for the preparation of the expressive body. To enhance the interpreter’s decisive, ingenious and comical quality; in addition to developing a poetic sensitivity, losing the fear of imbalance; imbalance moves us, displaces us and makes the scene come alive. The essence of this workshop is based on a Lecoquian foundation.

The body as an expressive tool, the actor as a vehicle for transmitting emotions, gesture as language and score for a story, comedy and drama go hand in hand to talk about the human being.

The course takes place over 3 days with a total of 7 and a half hours of work in the studio. This workshop is dedicated to the physical dimension of the actor/actress and is aimed at character creation and stage creation.

This approach to gestural theatre is aimed at actors/actresses, theatre students, stage creators, as well as people who want to have a first approach to this discipline.

Workshop structure:

  • The journey (of the neutral mask and the countermask).
  • The state of waiting and listening.
  • Imbalance as a driving force of emotion.
  • Object theatre.
  • The identity and intention of the characters.
  • Improvise to create.

Laboratorio Cómico is the educational support of TanTonTería Teatro, and through which we want to transmit our knowledge obtained from comedy and gestural theatre; applying our learned formula through our methodology and evolution in our work and in the development of a craft work on stage.

This course is aimed at actors, directors, theatre students and people who want to get started in the clown discipline.
