An intensive practical workshop led by worldwide theatrical legend Iben Nagel Rasmussen, who came up with a unique way to train performers that demolishes the barriers between theatre, dance, and vocal performance. Each day of the five-day workshop in Prague, participants will meet for 3 1⁄2 hour training sessions followed by a video seminar and discussion with instructors Iben Nagel Rasmussen and Elena Floris.

 

Published: 23. 5. 2019

The workshop is open to all interested, not only students of theatre/dance or professionals. Participants will develop a strong presence and dynamic action through movement and voice in space, thus discovering their personal poetry. Bridge of Winds has already raised two generations of theatre/dance artists from Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Bridge of Winds exercises develop various types of energy. The performer generates their flow, creates and transfers a message through physical and vocal action, work with space, props, and text, in contact with other participants in the exercise.

Each day’s training session will be followed by personal consultation and a video seminar. On Friday, 21 June at 7:00 p.m., the workshop will culminate with a combined evening with Iben: a showing of the film Bridge of Winds, her work demonstration entitled White as Jasmine, and a discussion.
