Double Deep Dive into: Animal Instincts
How is a cockroach on a first date? What is the favorite coffee of a sloth? How is a whale brushing its teeth? This workshop will focus more specifically on animals to pull on stage a fun ensemble show: Animal Instincts.
The work will explore the different tools to interpret animals on stage without feeling restricted in movements, contexts or stories. This workshop inspired by Pixar work will dive into silent scenes, physical work, action, love, and imagination to turn the animal world into living stories!
Take a close look at your dog, cat, crocodile or the wasp on your bread…. After imagining their exciting life, they will never appear the same again.
