‘From Page to Stage; From Pace to Space’ Creative Workshop
GE2019-46
‘From Page to Stage; From Pace to Space’ Creative Workshop
《拖著一個城市走路》創作坊
***Due to extended class suspension at HKU, the following programme will be rescheduled. Please stay tuned for further announcement.***

這是個關於文字和聲音動作如何互相融合和提升的工作坊。在兩次3小時的工作坊裏,導師們會帶領同學通過當代形體劇場訓練和文字創作練習去探討每個人心目中「完美的自己」這個題目。

工作坊裏將會有現場樂手輔助同學們把即時創作的文字和動作提升,並且有舒緩和排解的作用。

這工作坊將會在短時間內給同學們介紹形體、文字和音樂結合的一些實用的方法。


It's a workshop series (two 3-hour sessions) focusing on how movements and texts complement each other.  Contemporary physical theatre training merging with creative writing exercises focusing on the topic of 'Ideal Self' will kick start participants coming up with original material, and visualizing them physically and sonically with the help of live music playing by musician Jing Wong and live recording and looping of their voices during the workshop.  This will be an intense experience with an expressive outlet that also shows them how to present their writings from page to stage.
