TO REMEMBER OUR CHILDHOOD DESCENT: CO-EXISTENCE, CO-MOVEMENT, AND PARTICIPA(C)TION IN THE FLOW OF LIFE (AND OF THE SCENE)

Intensive laboratory with Tatiana Motta Lima For the fifth edition of Practices of Encounter series, the Center for Theatre Studies (CET/FLUL) and the acting studio O Canto do Bode are organizing the intensive laboratory “So that we do not forget our childhood descent: co-existence, co-movement, and participa(c)tion in the flow of life (and of the scene),” featuring Tatiana Motta Lima. The laboratory starts from the following question: was there a time – literal or invented – in our lives when we perceived ourselves involved in relationships of friendship, fraternity, with ourselves, with other beings, and with things? Through exercises, improvisations, and games focusing primarily on the notion of contact (based on Grotowski), but also including, among others, the notions of listening, floating attention, joint attention, expanded perception, and micro perception, participants will seek to reconnect with those fraternal relationships, with the “childhood descent,” with those moments-events in which movement, affection, and action are neither properties nor expressions nor feelings of a given individual, but rather indicate our participation in the flow of life (and of the scene).
