Statement of Inquiry:
Connections are made in the bond between singular identities.
Factual question:
What is an ensemble?
What does blocking mean in theatresports?
What does responding kinaesthetically mean?
Conceptual questions:
What role does an individual actor have in building an ensemble?
How can we find connection?
Can an improvisation be a performance?
Debateable questions:
Is there such a thing as an individual in a cohesive ensemble?
This term we will be exploring the nature of ensemble through Theatresports.
We will learn about listening, about making and receiving offers, about building connections and working together as a team towards a goal.
Why? There is an incredible experience offered to those actors who can move beyond the 'I' in performance into the 'we'. Who can see the collective effort required by many parties to create and put on a show. More than this for actors to really do the task of acting, listening is required - with every sense available to them. In listening we can forge the bond, make the links between you say, now I say, ... between you do now and I do ... between you feel now I feel. We become connected.
Why? To build ensemble we must learn to be comfortable with each other. Play is one of the best ways to do this as play involves risk, experimentation and fun.
Why? In order to listen we must have something to listen to. Expression!
