.Connect: A 100 Hour Course in Physical Theatre in Bangalore Indiranagar at FLUX
We are offering Connect: a 100 hour course in physical theatre in Bangalore Indiranagar at FLUX. The course starts on 4th January 2020 and runs for 3 months.
There is something very beautiful about seeing a performer on stage that is truly alive, present and vulnerable. Without even one of these things, the performance falls flat. It will not be able to reach the audience in its true sense. For achieving this sort of a presence, the mind and body need to come together and connect.
Improvisation as A Tool in Physical Theatre in Bangalore
This is also a big reason why we give more importance to feelings than to form or the narrative. We work with a certain motivation of what we are feeling and how we want the audience to feel. It’s because if the audience does not feel the performance, there is no point doing it at all.
The only purpose of art is to make people think and feel. Without thinking and feeling life loses its real virtue. This is why in this course we concentrate on bringing out the thinkers and feelers in each one of us.
Writing as Another Important Tool in Physical Theatre
Now for feeling, we use the medium of the body. Our bodies cannot lie. They express everything that we are feeling and therefore we also tap into feelings through our body in this course. Sometimes when we are very tense, our movements are way more controlled. At other times when we are truly very stressed out, we go mad on the dance floor. These are all signs and interpretations of what one could be feeling.
But in this course in physical theatre in Bangalore, we ask you to dig deep within yourself to understand how and why you are feeling what you are. This not only makes you more aware of your own feelings but also makes you study what different feelings really feel like in their ultimate depth. And then, when we create a piece, you can truly embody each one of these personally experienced feelings. You can easily translate them into your movement. This is what physical theatre is about. It amounts to truly embodying the intention of the piece in the mind, the body and the soul.
Content in Physical Theatre
We believe in creating Art for Change. This change can be personal or systemic. It can be a change within or in the audience that goes away feeling something within. It could also be about bringing a systemic change in the way things work in our constructed society. The truth is that we live in a society, which has many set patterns of thought and ways of living. These sorts of performances help us question and rethink if we want to live in this type of a setting.
The Role of Feelings
Surrealism and abstraction allow us entry into all these layers of ourselves and express them through authentic and true feelings. These are the feelings that each one of us faces on a day to day level.
This form of physical theatre in Bangalore can also fall under the category of magical realism. This is a form of storytelling that is based in reality. But it takes elements of fantasy and includes them into our ideas of what is real and what is not.
The Role of Intention
This is the intention of Connect, the course in physical theatre in Bangalore that we are offering at FLUX. It is about making people think and wonder for themselves. It is also about creating ripples of thought and imagination through performance using both, the mind and the body.
