| Voice and Body |
 Zygmunt Molik and Jerzy Grotowski worked together for twenty five years in the Laboratory Theatre founded by Jerzy Grotowski and Ludwik Flaszen.Zygmunt Molik was responsible for vocal and physical training. The physical actions prepared by Zygmunt Molik and Jerzy Grotowski were strictly defined and very precise, they let us start the process of body and sound vibration: of spoken and sung voice, of spoken and sung life. How can a text or a song reveal the life that is in the process of happening? How can an actor fight and win the challenge posed by the Unknown and the Unpredictable, how can s/he touch the edge of the Impossible?  It is not about the technique but about strengthening and structuring the whole individual in order to make clear the vitality and colours of thoughts as well as the sensitivity of work, of author and of performer.Through the activation of resonant areas as well as the work on texts and songs proposed by the participants we head towards the aim: to speak as you were singing without any difference in the openness of voice, resonance or colour caused by personal emotions. Contact, flow between movement, dance and spoken or sung text. The workshop lasts from 3 and half to 4 hours a day (starting at 4 pm) for 5 days in the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw. You have to prepare a text or a song (from 3 to 5 minutes) that you will work on. There will be at most 15 people in a group. |
