Général workshop informations:

Professional profile of trainees :  Corporeal Dramatic Mime being at the crossroads of disciplines is aimed at a heterogeneous audience coming from both dance, theatre, music, puppetry, circus, clown, graphic animation or drawing.

Prerequisites and professional experience of trainees: The workshop, which requires no prerequisites, is open to professionals of the spectacle as to any person driven by the desire to acquire a training in Dramatic Corporel Mime and more generally to those who feel the need to obtain a greater bodily ease.

Pedagogical objective: This ambitious project, which brings us back to the sources of theatricality, passes, during this course, by the study of the fundamentals of Corporel Dramatique Mime. Here the movement, by its articulation, takes forms that are both meaningful and abstract. The attitude and the gesture by their density, give to this body in motion a scenic dimension where poetry, drama, abstraction rub shoulders.

The workshop is divided into two parts:
- A first week, intense (30 hours), at a rate of 6 hours per day,
- followed by three weeks in which trainees will be integrated into the professional class at the rate of 10 hours per week. This second part aims to give the opportunity to the trainee AFDAS to confront in total immersion a class that dedicates itself throughout the school year to the learning of the Art of Dramatic Corporal Mime and, to enable them through this confrontation to progress better in their learning, caught up by an entire class and pushed towards mastery. Thus the new achievements are immediately anchored and implemented. Each professional will be coached by a student in Mime Trainer training, any new level III - RNCP diploma.

 

Educational information:

Curriculum

The pedagogical program of the course proposes to make discover the Mime Corporel Dramatique of Étienne Decroux, his analysis of the movement and his philosophical thought, through a look at his fundamental principles which are the following:

  • Work on the fundamental principles of Corporeal Mime
  • Basic techniques, articulation of mouvement
  • Counterweights, muscle comedy, dynamo-rhythms
  • Work on diffentes forms of displacement (caractères)
  • Stylized marches
  • Study of dynamic figures to sensitize participants to work on form and rhythm
  • Segmentation and work on the rhythm according to the characters studied
  • Improvisation and semi - improvisation
 

Planning a typical day
The typical day of the first session, which takes place over 5 days (first part), will be punctuated by twice 3 hours of lessons:
- 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

The mornings, will be first of all dedicated to a bodily conditioning followed by the learning of the fundamental principles essential and proper to the Dramatic Corporal Mime of Étienne Decroux.

The afternoons, will be used to apply these fundamentals, putting them at the service of the expression and the dramatic context, thus allowing the discovery of dynamic figures or excerpts from the repertoire of Etienne Decroux. The days will end with moments of improvisation (theme of improvisation that will evolve throughout the training) that will allow the participants to appropriate the technique by investing it and using it in a well defined context (Solo, Duo or group).

The model day of the second session, which takes place over 3 weeks (second part), will be punctuated by lessons of 2 hours and a half to 3 hours. These lessons are taught with the same pedagogical structure.

To study the counterweights and the muscular comedy allowing us to show the struggle, the effort of a body that opposes, resists. Body that becomes metaphorical when the action is transposed from the material sphere to the moral sphere. Particular attention will be devoted to rhythm. Rhythm of form but also and especially rhythm of the movement of the body in space. All these themes will be treated during the study of principles, dynamic figures, excerpts of pieces specific to the repertoire of Étienne Decroux’s Mime Corporel Dramatique.
