ATELIERS DE PRATIQUE THEATRALE
22 septembre au 11 octobre 202 - voir plus bas
Join us in Paris for our theatre musicality actor training workshops, and explore our “Actors’ Scales” of movement, voice, and text techniques. This training is suitable for actors, dancers, musicians and all stage poets.
Our actor training is in constant development. We train the actor’s scales, in a similar way as musicians’ scales, thus giving actors the ability of free expression and autonomy in their craft. The scales allow the development of different elements that support the actor’s playing: physical impulses, ensemble singing, text work and scene dramaturgy. Our practice is centered around collective work.
Bred in the Bone is an experimental theatre company, an ensamble of theatre makers from different parts of Europe. We have developed a method of actor/performer training based on physical theatre and theatrical musicality. Our technique is inspired by the Polish avant-garde theatre (Song of the Goat, Gardzienice, Grotowski-Barba) along with Jaques Lecoq and Michael Tchekhov’s work. We have staged Shakespeare, T.S. Elliott, Tchekhov, Kobayashi Takiji, Caryl Churchill and Edward Bond amongst others.
We offer 1 week, 2 weeks or 3 weeks of intensive performer training
(Monday-Saturday 4 to 6 hours daily training)
1 week = € 350
2 weeks = € 600
3 weeks = € 800
Open evening sessions, Tue-Thu, 6 – 8pm). 10E/session

Les Athlètes de l'Affectif
ATELIERS DE PRATIQUE THEATRALE
22 septembre au 11 octobre 202
Destinés aux comédiens, acteurs, danseurs, musiciens et tous autres poètes de scène.
Notre training du comédien est en constante élaboration. Il vise à la pratique quotidienne des ‘gammes’ du comédien-performeur, elle sont analogues à lùutilisation des gammes des musiciens, et visent à donner aux comédiens les outils et l’autonomie de leur artisanat dans la liberté de leur expression. Les gammes permettent d’accorder et de développer les différents éléments qui soutiennent le jeu de l’acteur en intégrant : les impulsions physiques, le chant choral, le travail du texte, et la dramaturgie scénique. Notre pratique théâtrale est centrée sur la création collective perçue comme conditionnelle à l’épanouissement personnel.
BRED IN THE BONE THEATRE – LES HORDES est un collectif de faiseurs de Théâtre de divers régions européennes qui coopèrent depuis 2006. Nous avons élaboré notre propre training de l’acteur d’après les techniques de jeu basées sur la corporalité et associées à la musicalité théâtrale. Nos techniques sont inspirées de l’avant-garde Polonaise (Pien Kozla, Gardzenice, Grotowski-Barba), ainsi que du travail sur le jeu de Jacques Lecoq et sur l’imagination de Michael Tchekhov. Nous avons joué et mis en scène Shakespeare, T.S. Eliott, Tchekhov, Kobayashi Takiji, Caryl Churchill, Edward Bond… Nous enseignons régulièrement dans les conservatoires et écoles de théâtre de Londres (RCSSD, Rose Bruford College, East 15) ainsi que ceux de Lisbonne, Madrid, Prague et Wroclaw.

“In our lore, to understand means to feel” Stanislavski
Facilitators Matthieu Leloup and Matilde Jalles Bred In The Bone Theatre Company www.bredinthebone.co.uk
In this three-day workshop and work showing BITB will share their corporeal, organic physical approach to actor training. The workshop will facilitate techniques that aim to harvest the embodied creativity generated during rehearsals and sustain them for the time of the performance.
Participants will practise the tuning of the mind-body instrument and explore the organic connections between Movement, Voice and Text. They will be introduced to performative physical scores and how they can structure character embodiment. They will be led into the rich and playful realm of Ensemble practices, practising co-ordination and nurturing the creative relationship with oneself and with others.
Residency Schedule
Warm up of the Ensemble, Introduction to practice of Scales for the Actor
Morning sessions : Daily Actor Training routine/techniques
Afternoon sessions: Creative paths into Text embodiment, play with character(s), creating in the theatrical space.
Final day: Late afternoon showing in front of an audience, sharing of work.
This residency is addressed to all actors/performers in theatre and movement-based practices. It is an invitation to train and (re)collect the body and the mind of performer practice. It is open to all walks of life in a celebration of inclusivity and diversity
“It was the most fulfilling experience and the biggest change in perspective I have ever experienced. It has changed my perception of theatre and the reasons why I want to do it, but also my outlook on life. It placed me on a search for more and made me question my honesty to myself and those around me, my relationships as a whole.” Ariadna Tilve, Spain, Residency 2010
