The Floating Tree is a physical theatre workshop directed at theatre performers and directors. Starting from a poem or a staple of poems, the participants will generate and compose physical and vocal material, transforming poetic images into physical actions, the atmosphere and dynamics of poetic speech into a stage environment, and the associations of poetry into theatre dramaturgy and stage presence. Each participant will create a short score of physical and vocal actions, which can be repeated with detail, and precision, and which communicates a story, image, or emotion, through a dynamic narration. The workshop also offers an intensive framework for psychophysical research, regarding he dramaturgy of movement and space, and the tools of the performer’s craft (body/mind connection, corporal axels, source of psychophysical energy, negations and differentiations, asymmetry and unbalance, resistance, relation with the weight, breathing, focus, inner speed, sensory awareness, etc).
