Louise Jacobs
The Parasitical Theatre
So,
I have now gotten a few volunteers together for the workshop. Some of you are art students and some of you are actors with experience. However, I think this is a good opportunity for all of you to meet and work with each other. This is the email I sent out, im resending it in case not all of you are informed fully about what the workshop entails.
(I need people to participate in a workshop based on various impro techniques, sound and props. The basis for this workshop is my graduation work, which will be a live produced play in three acts, with three actors.
As of now, I want it to be a loose love triangle and the acts will be performed on all the three floors in the old building of the Rietveld Academy, starting on the third. the idea is to perform in motion next to an audience in flux, may it be in the staircase or in a room next to other peoples work. Core situations i want to stage are; chasing scenes, couple dancing and killing scenes adapted from famous movies and theatre plays. Through the impro workshop i hope to render together with you as a group these lines from famous scenes and adjust them into a contemporary setting. If you have any performance or stage experience from before, that would be great, or the main criteria is that your not shy and afraid of acting next or between a public.
The workshop will be creatively an engaging experience and it should benefit you as well, and im open to any ideas you might have. Id like the workshop to evolve from a space we practice together to public spaces, as the final play depend a familiarity with strangers and close reactions.
Essentially, trust is something im looking for, and that its built around a performance group which work closely together.
Hope to hear from you, and please email me if you have any questions.
As soon as I have a group of ten, i will set up a schedule. Im thinking 1-2 hours each week.
The date of the performing play:
3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of July.
The main play will be approx. 20 min long x 2 during the graduation opening on the 3rd.
Hopefully we divide it into groups of three, alternating to best suit your time schedule as well.)
Space for rehearsal:
The Rietveld Academy
Fred. Roeskestraat 96
Are you able to meet this week?
