Creative Residency | Paris

20 Apr – 25 Apr 2026

École de Danse de la Bibliothèque

This six-day residency explores scenes from an early 20th-century Russian play that traces the arc of a human life as a poetic allegory. Using physical theatre tools, participants investigate presence, impulse, energy, and the body as an active force in storytelling. Through movement exercises, improvisation, and scene work, actors engage the text as a living landscape, uncovering meaning through the body and imagination. Rooted in the Physical Lab methodology, the residency emphasizes embodiment as a pathway to truthful, instinctive performance. The process unfolds as a collaborative laboratory where performers explore, experiment, and create together.

A four-day embodied exploration of the language of Federico García Lorca, focusing on desire, resistance, and physical presence through intensive scene and movement work. Using physical theatre tools and embodiment practices, participants investigate how Lorca’s imagery and rhythm can be activated through the body. Through exercises, improvisation, and focused scene exploration, actors develop greater awareness of impulse, tension, and emotional energy in performance. The lab invites performers to approach the text as a living force, allowing physical presence and instinct to shape the storytelling.
