THEATRE DES GRANDS CHEMINS AND HIPPOCAMPE
THEATRE TOTAL
Théâtre
Total is a pedagogical platform whose objective is to make accessible
quality training. We work on the autonomy and versatility of the
actor at the service of creation, and at a theater seen as a space of
total expression.
On
the trail of the theater's innovators of the 20th century, such as
Grotowski, Barba, Decroux, Meyerhold and Lecocq, we offer training on
the fundamentals of theater.
This
workshop brings together two of the most important figures in
international gestural theater. The pedagogy of Claire Heggen and
Thomas Leabhart is imbued with the philosophy of the hidden master
Etienne Decroux.
But
if their strain is common, their personal search, rich of 40 years of
experience, is totally specific and complementary at the same time.
Their
teaching goes beyond a style, no method is proposed, it is an
accompaniment based on the "universal" principles of
theater and interpreting and is aimed at anyone wishing to deepen his
skills as actor, director, dancer, singer, etc.
For
this workshop we will work in a theater.
This
is the Théâtre
du Colombier
which is close to Cordes
sur ciel
in the Tarn and which opens its doors for 15 days.
It
is a remarkable place, a perfect tool, all equipped with a tray of 10
m by 8 m.
In
addition there is a large outdoor garden, a lawn that we can
eventually use as a sky stage.
Immersed
in a rural environment, this theater is close to Cordes sur ciel
which is a popular tourist site, a place of Catharism, a medieval
town with centuries-old houses.
We
make every effort to ensure that this experience can be as rewarding
as possible on the path of art and transmission.

Part 1 "BETWEEN BODY AND OBJECT"
Claire HEGGEN (1 to 5 August)
-
Dicovering the mutual physical relations of object and body working
with basic materials and simple objects.
-
Creating relations of the artistic object and subject.
-
Articulation of the relation between Body-Object in time and space
based on decomposition – recomposition.
-
Conscious play of the mutuality between Object and Body,
Object-Subject, presence - absence, including the viewpoint of the
spectator.
- Starting with playful improvistations the actor will explore news ways of expression, presence - absence, from becoming invisible to the strongest physical action on the track of poetic, dramatic and „marionettic“ dimensions.
