Movement theater and creative improvisation

Workshop with Paul Hänel

The theater stage is a magical space in which things happen that cannot be predicted. They arise spontaneously from the liveliness of the players. Through their creativity and creative power, these spontaneous events become a work of art.
Perception: Finding access to the complex roles and figures hidden in the player personality. Individual expressiveness: Work on the intensity of expression, presence and permeability of different feelings and moods. Dissolving blockages so that creative and playful potential can unfold. Improvisation: authenticity in play, spontaneous self-expression, openness to changing situations and flexibility.

No previous knowledge is required!
Registration should be made no later than two days before the start of the workshop. If the minimum number of participants is not reached, the workshop will be canceled in advance.
