”Performance Projects”
5 weeks workshop from February 15th - March 19th by Cantabile 2

For 17 years Cantabile 2 has been educating professional performers at the 3 year long education “School of Stage Arts”. Now the theatre offers a new initiative, where the participants during a 5 weeks workshop has the possibility to go deep in project work.

During the workshop participants create scenic material with the starting point in their own ideas and creativity. The artistic director of Cantabile 2 Nullo Facchini and permanent performer at the theatre Siri Haff will guide and support an artistic and creative process, that will bring a project to the next phase. Participants will develop solos, duos or other constellations. This may be projects already existing and needing input to reach the next level, or the course can be used for the participant to develop his or her own concept and focus own ideas – individually or together with some of the other participants.

In the work different methods and tools will be introduced and used, these are element like post-butoh, improvi­sation, installation work, object work, voice work, site specific work, visual work with the starting point in photos etc.

Every day begins with a common morning training followed by project work. The work on the projects will be both on a conceptual and artistic level as well as it will support the technical aspects of the scenic work of the performer.

The workshop is oriented towards those starting to establish own projects and those wishing for an in depth experience in scenic project work. The course is also relevant for educated classical actors, dancers and singers looking for an open and investigating approach to stage work. Also New Circus artists wishing to strengthen that part of the work which is not circus technical work are invited.
Essential is that the participant is dedicated to the work and able to work creatively and independently.

The course will be designed in order to suit the needs and level of the participants.
