TRAINING   &   INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS

 

DEFINITIONS

Pantheatre ACTS - Acting Choreographic Theatre Singing is a professional training context for actors, singers, dancers and performance artists. A context also for personal or professional development through the performing arts. It specializes in voice performance, including 'Roy Hart' voice work, choreographic theatre and cultural studies, especially those linked with mythology and archetypal psychology.

From 2011 : Pantheatre ACTS changed its pedagogical structures and no longer uses the "school" model nor offers training diplomas. Transmission is based on mentorship by Enrique Pardo or Linda Wise, or both, in collaboration of the artists and teachers linked with PANTHEATRE. The aim is for each artists to make the work their own and use it in their way. See CERTIFICATIONS

PLANNING

PANTHEATRE is based in PARIS from October to April, and at Château de Malérargues (Roy Hart International Centre - Southern France) from May to August. PANTHEATRE also has yearly programmes in New York, Chile and Milan, plus special projects like Haiti 2008, Norway 2009 & 2010, Brasil 2011.

Full time training only takes place during the intensive workshops. At other times each participant establishes a planning for an INDIVIDUAL PROJECT including RESIDENCIES at Malérargues, Roy Hart Centre, the overall planning depending on budget and time of the participants, as well as on the availability of the directors.

In 2010 / 2011 Enrique Pardo directed six performances by artists in training with PANTHEATRE ACTS. All of them took the Paris professional workshop, defining their projects and rehearsing in Paris. They then worked during residences at Malérargues and presented their performances during the Myth and Theatre Festival in August 2011. See PERFORMANCES

Voice Performance   |   Choreographic Theatre

Voice performance training involves a dynamic blend of technical finesse and expressive risk. It also seeks the affirmation of personal genius - character and musicality - and a commitment to the relevance of what one has to voice, be it in speech, song, scream, silence, image or movement - or their synthesis in choreographic theatre.

 

Voice work, includes the Roy Hart approach to extended ranges, timbres and textures and an understanding of physiology of the voice.
Singing
 Interpretation and improvisation, from bel canto to hell canto, with a basic musical training for beginners.
Body
 Body awareness, dance and performer's presence.
