The Body’s Journey

[az_dropcap mode=”dropcap-color”]T[/az_dropcap]he project The Body’s Journey is the fruit of more than 20 years of experience in the theatre field (training, university research, teaching, devising). It concentrates on the fusion of two contemporary techniques for the actor/dancer training: The Organic Lineage research initiated and developed by Jerzy Grotowski and then by Eugenio Barba and his collaborators (theatre anthropology); and the Corporeal Mime of Etienne Decroux. These different techniques find a commonplace in that they both develop through the actor/dancer the sense of scenic presence and autonomy as an author/performer/creator.

The exercises of the organic process liberate the energetic flux from the spinal column, and propagate to transform the physical body. The actor/dancer thus develops a concentration and identifies with his physical, emotional, and mental centers. Instead of searching for a specific expression, the actor/dancer plunges into a real process of organic research, which in turn becomes an artistic expression. The corporeal movements are initiated by impulses that are germinated from the interior of the body and develop within and throughout it. The research in theatre anthropology draws its inspiration from traditional theater from diverse parts of the world.

In the practice of Corporeal Mime, the actor/dancer finds the possibility of creating his or her own personal compositions in isolating different parts of the body, in mastering its articulations, and in playing with varying speeds, resistances and designs of corporeal movement.

The play and the joy of playing, and the improvisation are part of the listening and of the sharing. The research with puppets and materials, the acrobatics, the voice work, and the exercises of awareness and awakening the interior are also part of our training work, research and creation.

Our project, The Body’s Journey, will guide actors/dancers on a road to self-discovery in order to explore new corporeal paths through the listening of impulses, abandoning of stereotypical and mechanical behaviors, and through the discovery and the respect of a genuine organicity inherent in the body. A corporeal work conducted with attention and sensibility allows the actor/dancer to develop an original language capable of communicating to a larger audience and to cultivate openness to one’s self and to others, recovered through the artistic training of theatre and performance throughout the ages and across cultures.

[az_accordion_section]

[accordion title=”Eric de Sarria” id=”acc-1″]Eric de Sarria started theatre with Vicky Messica at the Theatre Les Déchargeurs, and Philippe Genty. The first gave him the passion of the Verb, and the second that of the Image. With this double passion, he worked always as an actor, with the Unity Theatre and the Illustrious Burattini Family.

While continuing his acting career, primarily with Philippe Genty, he directed in France and overseas with young students, fine artists, actors, and professional marionette artists. These collaborations have taken him to the four corners of the world: South Africa, Egypt, Russia, Norway, and France. In parallel, he assisted Philippe Genty in his workshops and creations (Boliloc, Ne M’oublie Pas).

He conducts workshops in manipulation of marionettes, object and materials in France and overseas for professionals and amateurs as well as in school, in the lineage of work that follows the Philippe Genty company.
