Nettles Classes Bring Enrique Pardo And Linda Wise To NYC
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jan. 19, 2009
Nettles Artists Collective is proud to bring to New York, Enrique Pardo and Linda Wise, founders and directors of Pantheatre, based in Paris and at Malérargues (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, expressivity, 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 texts and disassociation exercises. 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."
Saturday May 23 Seminar : demonstrations, experimental sessions, video extracts, and a panel talk with invited guests : Nor Hall, Steven Levine and others (tbc.)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 professional.)
