Alongside the presentation of the performance Dimanche in FIMFA Lx23, and that will be on stage from 26th to 28th of May at Teatro São Luiz, the artist Sicaire Durieux from Cie Chaliwaté invites you to discover the fundamental principles of gestural theatre, the bases specific to the arts of mime and gesture. Through simple exercises, you will approach the musicality of the movement, the precision of the gesture, the game with the invisible, the fixed point and the mobile point, the different types of movement, but also isolation, and dissociation, rhythm work linked to burlesque acting and metamorphoses.
This initiation is based on the teachings of Etienne Decroux, Marcel Marceau and Jacques Lecoq.
Open to all types of participants, starting at 18 years old, as long as they are willing to take part fully in this masterclass.
“The gesture is for us a unique way to create evocative, suggestive and metaphorical images. We share within the Cie Chaliwaté the same vision of theatre: poetic, physical, visual and artisanal, playing with comedy in the tragic. We like to start from daily situations, from everyday life to talk about social issues that affect us. From the start, we have been drawn to this form of theatre that can travel around the world.”
