VOICE LAB

From 17th October to 6th February
Teacher: Hans Richter
Timetable: Wednesday 14:30h to 16:00h. (1.5h/week)
Price: 172 euros (small group)
 
The voice is a gesture that has direction, shape and that acquires meaning in space. Breathing and body posture are the grounds for a well supported and vibrating voice. In the lab we discover relationships, often unconscious, between breathing, emotion and expression. Through this long research process we re-cognize our own voice and this allows to replace the old patterns with new ones.
 
 
 
CINEMA STUDIES: Actor, cámara, acción!

From 16th October to 7th February
Teacher: Nico Kohen
Timetable: Tuesday and Thursday 19:15h to 20:45h. (3h/week)
Price: 263 euros
 
Nico Kohen is a member of the pedagogic team of Estudis. His proposal is to experiment in front of and behind the camera to analyze thoroughly the language of the cinema. Old movies are analyzed, new prominent figures are created, sequences are reinvented and scenes are filmed. By applying Lecoq's teachings to the cinematographic interpretation we re-discover the intimate relationship between theatre and cinema. Sergi Lopez, disciple of Lecoq, says:
maybe the difference between theatre and cinema is just a matter of scale: when I do cinema I work on the detail, I focus the action.

The study of this style, which captivated Renaissance Europe, turns out to be a fundamental base to understand current theatre.
