The Academy provides multi- disciplinary training for all artists and performers. 

Workshops will take place at The Factory Performance Space, Lower Quay Street, Sligo.

 

MOVEMENT (9^th – 13^th January 2017)

This workshop involves training in the discipline of Corporeal Mime.

Developed by Etienne Decroux, Corporeal Mime accentuates the vital importance of the body and physical action on stage. He created this method and technique for creative performers who wish to transform their ideas into a physical reality. Corporeal Mime assists the actor to become more autonomous in creating metaphor-based physical theatre pieces while heightening physical awareness for traditional performance by increasing the actor's strength, agility, flexibility and control.

Sandra O Malley and Jorge Correa Bethencourt, both who have trained at the International School of Corporeal Mime under Steven Wasson and Corinne Soum, will lead this workshop covering Technique, Repertoire, Composition and Improvisation.

• Sandra O Malley 
    
• Jorge Correa Bethencourt

Movement Workshop Fee: €185

 

VOICE 

WORKSHOP 1 (16^th – 20^th January 2017)

WORKSHOP 2 (23^rd - 27^th January 2017)

Voice Training and Development are explored through the methodologies and techniques of the Roy Hart International Voice Centre, France.

The pedagogic approach of Roy Hart Training begins with the premise that each individual voice is unique. There is no singular established method rather the training is a disciplined exploration guided by the teacher releasing sources of energy and imagination to open the voice, to realise its potential. Roy Hart teaching workshops have been developed based on a history of more than 80 years of research, study and practice of the human voice.

Senior Teachers at the Roy Hart Centre, David Goldsworthy and MarieAnn Le Tron will  conduct this 5 day workshop.
