This course, held in English and Japanese, provides students with applied methods for exploring their bodies, personal memories and selves through theatre and dance techniques. Through theatre and movement practices, they will use different modes of storytelling and representation, in making a performance piece.
The aim is to renew trust in interpersonal communication by encouraging open, fluid and reflective conditions. Ways of breathing, sensing and thinking with greater clarity will be practiced towards enhancing a sense of responsibility.
This is a three-fold process:
・ developing greater sensitivity to habituated states of the physical body
・ recalling and sharing subjective, if abstracted, memories
・ combining material in a performative setting for other students.
