16-17 February 2019CUMO - Budapest

Working with the Neutral Mask

During this weekend workshop participants from all walks of life will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the process of embodiment and work with the Neutral Mask of J. Lecoq

The Poetic Body in theatre and life

On the first day we will explore the ‘fundamental journey’ diving into personal and collective landscapes of our bodies - from the sea to the desert - and create dialogues between body, imagination, mind, heart and the poetic dimensions of our selves. 

We will try to (re) discover the relationship between our physical bodies and our poetic bodies and how these discoveries can live as constructions in the theatrical space

On the second day, we will work with the Neutral Mask and myths ‘testing’ and ‘tasting’ our capacity for becoming an ‘ensemble’ and create a short piece of devised performance.

The training language will be a physical, simple and easy-to-understand English, with Hungarian translation, if needed.

The workshop will be open to anyone and no previous theatre experience will be required

ANAMUH - Arts for Dialoguecontact@anamuh.org

ANAMUH is a not-for-profit social initiative aimed at establishing and sustaining a space for communitarian dialogue through the use of Theatre and Arts.

We are a group of enthusiast socially-committed artists and theatre practitioners: we believe that Theatre and Arts can make a sustainable positive change within people, in communities, in society.
We believe in Social Theatre and the enormous potential for positive social transformation that it offers, to foster inter-communitarian dialogue, to challenge stereotypes/discrimination, to build bridges among individuals and cultures.
We periodically organize and facilitate various training courses and workshops on various arts and disciplines, open to anyone willing to explore, transform, find inspiration and connection.
ANAMUH envisions a world where diverse communities know, respect and include each other, and where they grow together creating new ideas, tastes and forms of art on the basis of their own identities and cultures.
