Workshop ‘Clown and Mask’

Making sculptures:
working with clay, stone and wood

 

The workshop ‘Clown and Mask’ will offer you the opportunity to take the first steps into the vast universe of the clown and the mask, with the sensibility, spontaneity, imaginary, the simplicity and with an alert body, rich of sensation. Everything will be explored with an immense openness. The absurd, the burlesque, the derision are the companions on the road. The pedagogy is based on ‘movement theatre’, with the body and its dynamics as basic tool. This theatre allows an universal language, to be discovered, explored and played by the body. The artistic language of every participant will be created by liberating the emotions and awakening the imaginary.

Jessica Raynal and Loic Bayle offer you as joyful tools: the movements of the body as engine and the mask as tool for playing - from the ´mask larva´ (half mask) up to the smallest mask in the world : the nose of the clown.

In the visual art workshop ‘Making sculptures’ you the consequences of working three dimensionally are at the centre. You work with materials available in the landscape of Quercy, like limestone or oak wood, or with materials you have found yourself on the hills of Fabre Vieux. The investigation of the materials gives inspiration and the discovered characteristics of the material have effects on the shape of your sculpture.
The working method highly depends of your own contribution, preferences and choices. The assignments challenge you to create interesting theatrical and visual materials yourself. Besides that, you will watch together to art works of artist who work starting from space.

New is that two artists-teachers collaborate as a team in this workshop: Pim Knaup en Peer Besselink.
