Placing the Voice
A voice and choreographic theatre workshop
Enrique Pardo, director
Nick Hobbs, music ex machina
Sharon Feder, assistant director in situ
Multiple plots:
1. Ensemble work: plot, place and context - the “ecology of imagination”
2. Right and wrong moves: spotting tacit voices
3. Hearing voices (“dropping eaves”): panic oracles, echolalia and sybilline ro-mantics
4. Bringing wild voices home to roost
5. Allowing texts a say (at the witness box)
6. Giving music the benefit of the doubt (i.e. divine status)
7. Verdict: “If you find your place you will find your voice - and the plot, i.e. the meaning of your ‘lines’.”
Bring a working text learnt by heart; some 250 words, any genre, contemporary please (Enrique does not speak fluent Shakespeare. English, French, Spanish, Italian welcome.)
Enrique Pardo - theatre director, actor - is the founder, and co director with Linda Wise, of Pantheatre, a company with a wide range of international performing and training projects, including the Paris-based Pantheatre-Roy Hart voice and theatre training programmes, and the May Workshop-Symposium at the Roy Hart Centre in Southern France.
