Living Spaces
This workshop is a new initiative of AAA Fabre Vieux: the European grant program
Youth in Action has subsidised this interdisciplinary workshop. The theme is the space and style of your
life. Young people from Bosnia, Bulgaria, France, the Netherlands and Serbia participate in this workshop.
Point of reference is a great interest in the theme and in combining theatre with other art disciplines.
Different form previous years you start already before the workshop, in May and June, to prepare some
creative work at home. You prepare together with other youngsters from your country, a small presentation
in a form you choose yourself: via photographs, a song or poem or a short theatre scene.
In the workshop at Fabre Vieux you work in intercultural sub groups. Through
challenging exercises and assignments you are invited to explore and investigate the environment of Fabre
Vieux and to transfer your explorations into theatre.
The assignments stimulate you to use all your senses. You are encouraged to use the discovered visual
aspects in your theatrical creation, with materials from the environment and to integrate also your
movement experiments and sensorial experiences: the smells, light and dark, the sounds, the flavours and
skin sensations. Your teachers will ask not only to play and direct, but also to experiment with other
theatrical and visual fields (e.g. scenography, landscape and environment, movement).
Thanks to the grant of the EU program Youth in Action the travel costs are partially covered and the
workshop is free. You are only asked to pay a small contribution in the costs for food. The participants
are invited by the partner organisations in the diverse countries.
In the visual art workshop you work with materials available in the landscape of Quercy,
like limestone, or with materials you have found yourself on the hills of Fabre Vieux. The investigation
of the material 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.
