The Floating Tree is a physical theatre workshop, designed for performers and theatre directors. Starting with a poem or a selection of poems, participants will generate and compose physical and vocal material, transforming poetic imagery into physical actions, and the atmosphere and dynamics of poetic speech into a stage environment, as well as the associations within poetry into theatrical dramaturgy and stage presence. Each participant will create a short sequence of physical and vocal actions, performed with precision and detail, communicating a story, image, or emotion through dynamic narration. The workshop also offers an intensive framework for psychophysical research, exploring the dramaturgy of movement and space, as well as tools essential to the performer’s craft (body/mind connection, bodily axes, sources of psychophysical energy, negations, and differentiations, asymmetry and imbalance, resistance, relationship with weight, breathing, focus, inner tempo, sensory awareness, and more).
