A series of four cycles of long weekend meetings, led by two or more of the performers/pedagogues of Teatr ZAR at a time. This formula allows us to delve deeper into the processes of different lines of creative work and experience how they resonate together.
Movement&Voice
led by Aleksandra Kugacz-Semerci and Katya Egorova
Training dedicated to rebuild a connection between body and voice, to embody our voice. We were taught that our voice is something separated from our body that it’s not part of us. How can we bring back our voices and what will happen if we actually do so? How can we use the voice and breath as a tool to come back to ourselves?
During the training we will explore our voice as a part of our body, we will try to let go of unnecessary control. Why is it important for everyone to work with the body and voice? Modern life, especially post-COVID, with the transition of life to an online format, increasingly disconnects us from our own physicality. Disconnecting from our own body, we, among other things, lose contact with others.
Dramaturgical Architecture as a Performer’s Craft
led by Davit Baroyan and Mertcan Semerci
This session is a further continuation of two sessions present in the cycle of work: “Embodied Creation” led by Mertcan Semerci, the initial session of our project and “Tempo-Rhythm – Imagination – Improvisation – Etude” led by Davit Baroyan . It aims towards making another step into creating strong theatrical individual material prepared by each of the participants, their personal etude. It includes the physical training tailored to awaken and trigger the imagination of the performer.
Taking part in this session is not only reserved for those who participated in the first one.
