Theatre ► Improvisation ► Performance
"This proposal is based on an unchanging premise: to look away from what fascinates and shapes one's personality in spite of oneself.
Description
Looking away is the very principle of theatre, without which it would be impossible to play a situation that offends our codes and morals.
It would be illusory and unfounded to aim at modifying our reactions radically or according to our own will. Through childhood traumas and more or less accepted habits, there is no doubt that what forges our temperaments based on fears and conquests, will assert itself from the first manipulation. The ambition of these sessions is certainly less, but concrete.
Distracting for a moment, then each time in a more durable and recurrent way, the vigilance of our superego is a feasible thing.
Method
It is a matter of amplifying this context, even if it means having no reference points at all for a few hours, so as to cling to new external injunctions formulated through images, phrases, contacts and various fantasies.
No longer belonging to oneself completely, offering oneself, serving as material for others, finding oneself in contact with all sorts of bodies, physical and mental textures... the playful environments will follow one another without interruption in order to make possible the confusion necessary for the emergence of the involuntary behaviours sought and which must lead quite naturally to the Performance.
None of these proposals will be compulsory, but the multiplicity of requests will be constant in order to create the most uncontrolled reactivity possible.
The use of variously soiled foodstuffs in the game means that it is necessary to wear clothing that can be irreparably stained, including underwear. Aprons will also be provided. These sessions do not include a break and therefore run continuously from the moment the participants enter the room, which of course does not exclude the possibility of having something to eat during the game.

Summer Body Workshops
A consciousness and a body: nudity and performance under the sun. Eight workshop sessions devoted to the body exhibited through performance.
Totally naked
Some objectives of the " Totally Naked " workshop: Risking oneself in a body bath. Allow yourself the freedom to stay there. Tranquilize your fear. To confront desire.
Of the truth of men
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.
Ballad post "Iconicum"
A walk backwards towards the birth of a collective improvisation based on the participatory performance Iconicum given to the Generator.
Everything has to go.
"Everything must go" is intended to make its participants perceive this total eclipse of self-confidence that makes the interpreter in true research.
Iconicum
The principle of the "Iconicum" workshop is to improvise from compositions reconstituted live from master paintings or photographs.
Look away
"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.
Performance
In this performance workshop, it is a question of being totally actor and fully spectator, artist, everyday individual as well as researcher.
The scream, the text and the physical impulse
It is not easy to produce a free scream, authentic enough to find its natural place in the voice and without scratching the throat.
Mixing of genres
The mixture of natures that shape us and the contradictions that knead us are the guiding threads of this day of training.
Improvise freely
Starting from almost nothing, learning to improvise freely allows one to extend the playful potential of each individual to the dimensions of his or her own imagination.
Inventing an identity
Using various disguises, masks and accessories, this day-long workshop offers everyone the opportunity to develop a distinctive identity.
Play nude
Playing naked is in itself a speech. The aim of this workshop is to understand nudity as a relational, playful and scenic tool.
