Nettles Artists Collective Hosts 2nd Annual Theatre & Voice Performance Workshop 5/24
Nettles Artists Collective is once again proud to bring to New York Enrique Pardo and Linda Wise, founders and directors of Pantheatre, based in Paris and Malerargue (The Roy Hart Centre, Southern France). With extensive work in the European scene, these two directors will incorporate moments of ensemble and individual work on all aspects of the performer's craft including: voice, text, singing, acting, expression, emotion, movement and music.
Voice Performance, taught by Linda Wise, involves a dynamic blend of technical finesse and expressive risk in extended voice ranges (including Roy Hart Techniques). The training will develop vocal improvisation, text renderings and dramatic musical compositions.
Choreographic Theatre, taught by Enrique Pardo, integrates voice performance and text into movement ensemble work. The training includes chorus composition disciplines, the deconstruction of text, disassociation exercises, and how to free the voice while "setting up" the texts and the actors.
Pantheatre defines its aims in terms of "the affirmation of personal genius - character and musicality - and a commitment to what one has to voice, be it in speech, song, scream, silence, image or movement."
Seminar (June 5th 1pm-6pm): demonstrations, experimental sessions, video extracts and a panel talk with invited guests.
This workshop is for an 'advanced/professional' level - but not necessarily in terms of technical proficiency or even performance experience, but rather in terms of personality and capacity to take risks (both psychological and artistic).
