Corporeal Mime Workshop - Blue Raincoat Theatre Academy

Corporeal Mime Workshop - Blue Raincoat Theatre Academy

This workshop involves training in the discipline of Corporeal Mime. Corinne Soum combines her experience as former assistant to Etienne Decroux and having taught, developed and directed Corporeal Mime for more than 30 years.
The training will include gestural grammar, body articulation, counterweights, walks and displacement in space, figures of style, mobile statuary, and musicality of movement. Extracts of the repertoire of Etienne Decroux will be taught during the workshop to fully experience this unique modern mythology of movement theatre. Participants will also explore the infinite possibilities of drawing from this repertoire to create personal work.
