Come on out and celebrate Bastille Day like you never have before!
Grand Guignolers Physical Theatre
Melodrama Workout: Bastille Day Eve
PLAY BIG * PLAY FIERCE * PLAY TO SURVIVE
WEDNESDAY * JULY 13th
FOCUS: BASTILLE DAY EVE
On the eve of Bastille Day, our friends at Grand Guignolers are offering another Melodrama Physical Theatre Workout that incorporates the spirit of the French Revolution. The Revolution will be the setting of their next big production. Join them for a physically theatrical workout to get you out of your head and into your body - grand gestures, stakes, full heightened physical expression. All levels welcome.
Melodrama is the most expressive of Western theatre forms, the one closest to the theatrical impulse, based in heightened physical gesture, high emotional stakes, bold characters, spectacle, the struggle of virtue and evil, and all to music. The workshop is somewhere between Artaud's "athlete of the emotions" and cops & robbers.
It's cathartic, powerful and FUN!
Sign up to secure your spot.
