Contra/Dictions Creative Workshop at Sunflower Theatre

Contradictions are not a limitation, but rather, by focusing simultaneously on opposite ideas, they open doorways for the inner, primal sources of the body to flow. The world exists as a dynamic fusion of contradictions in which the performer is able to discover a path to his total essence. Through a laboratory model that seeks to break the borders between dance, theatre and movement techniques, this workshop aims to unlock the potential for beginnings, where action is born.

Creative Preparation – chosen participants will be asked to bring:
– Three images of any personal inspiration (printed hard copies)
– A text which has personal value (written by other author or participant) (printed copies)
– If you have any competency with a musical instrument, please bring it to the session

Conditions for Work:
– Comfortable clothing for dynamic movement and strenuous work
– Actors should arrive 20 minutes before the session begins for individual warm-up
– Only water and notebook/pens will be allowed in the space

The workshop will be followed by a street performance in the frame of the Beirut Street Festival.

Cost: $75
