Brief description of the workshop
The workshop “The Actor’s Dramaturgy” is addressed to performers and lovers of the performing arts (theater, dance, circus, performance) who seek to discover new ways of connecting body, mind and soul for stage creation. The workshop is a branch of a long-term theatrical research, which finds its roots in:
