This workshop aims to guide artists as they explore their innermost creative framework. Here, we choose to replace the verb “to play” with the verb “to be,” and the expression “to be within” with “to let oneself be moved by.”Through a range of carefully calibrated technical exercises—in which speech is initially restricted, or even absent, to ensure that every spoken word arises from a visceral, gut-level necessity—the actor is invited to explore their essence: their silence, their openness, their movement, and their pure presence. How can one be enough for the stage? Simply to be, in order to be authentic. Whether in a poetic, abstract, absurd, dramatic, caricatural, or tragic way… How can one enrich their embodiment and bring a vibrant intensity to their stage presence?Speech is the icing on the cake. Being is the cake. Limited spots available—register now at cbadian@tropiques-atrium.fr---- Herve-Claude Ilin Herve-Claude grew up in Fort-de-France, in the Trenelle-Citron neighborhood.
