Theatre
Description
Description
The Actors Lab is a one-of-a-kind performance-based collaborative training and research programme for experienced and emerging theatre professionals.
Theatre du Pif will invite a core of theatre practitioners to take part in a 6-week gathering devoted to practical skill extension and development, while researching and sharing ideas on the work of the Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov. Each week will balance informal discussions, scene-work, rehearsals and collaborative skill exchange between directors, writers, actors, musicians and video artists.
Participants in the project will explore during concentrated sessions with Bonni Chan and Sean Curran, scene-work, improvisations, physical, vocal and acting training and devising theatre based on Chekhov’s short stories and his play The Seagull. Some fragments of the creative process will be uploaded for sharing on Theatre du Pif Official Facebook Page.
In April there will be presentations of the work that has been developed throughout the project as well as talks and theatre skill workshops that are open to the public.
