actor
Dressing up, disguising oneself, appearing with pleasure under a mask, since one is no longer a child, is not so simple. As an adult, we inherit a social mask, that's all. It's not even certain that you really make it yourself. Inventing an identity from scratch means laying the foundations of a personal mythology, not subject to the diktat of a work, so that the character becomes a work in itself.
I insist here on the value that I attach to arbitrariness as the salvation of poorly fruitful creative situations offered by apparent logic.
Some objectives of the "Totally Nude" workshop: Risking oneself in a body bath. Give yourself the freedom to stay there. Tranquilize your fear. To confront desire.
Work isn't interesting. It's being inspired that is. To be inspired is to be called to something more challenging than what was intended.
A day of participatory naked or dressed performance led by David Noir, to try to bring a little truth to the game, if not to life.
A walk backwards towards the birth of a collective improvisation based on the participatory performance Iconicum given to the Generator.
"Everything must go" is intended to make its participants perceive this total eclipse of self-confidence that makes the interpreter in true research.
Theatre, like all the arts, reveals to the person who practises it, how much life is worth living, starting with his or her own.
The principle of the "Iconicum" workshop is to improvise from compositions reconstituted live from master paintings or photographs.
"Looking elsewhere" is the very principle of theatre, without which it would be impossible to play a situation that clashes with our codes and morals.
In this performance workshop, it is a question of being totally actor and fully spectator, artist, everyday individual as well as researcher.
