International art resource “THE SONG OF SONGS”

10–20 February
The Grotowski Institute, Wroclaw (Poland)

The 8th work-session of International Art Resource «The Song of Songs»



« To Acquire Gift of Speech »
          actor’s technology of work with word and voice
 
to nameless guardians of boundaries
to those who are already not with us,
but who as before unselfishly
serve to us



Our tongue, our speaking, our speech – proposal of voice – is a fortune of individual.
This is our image, maybe, also our fortune.
This is we ourselves, as if oozing out in ourselves, revealing from kernel.

One has acquired gift of speech, one has lost gift of speech –
speech accepts person on the way –
that is affair of spirit which rules over us.

We are conditioned. The way we pronounced word, this what we touched,
this, where our voice is following from – indicates us, shining,
illuminating our essence.

Only when one has seen our individual doom
as a form of following and accepted the law of it,
it’s possible to get a chance to exempt yourself from the power of this law,
to become aware of individual connection with world and Word –
to acquire the presence of Spirit.


The session relates to the key problems of theatre and actor, in particular, with actor’s technology of work with word and voice.
