PLASTIQUES & CORPOREALS WORKSHOP JULY 18TH

Note on the Workshop

I have been a student of many disciplines and been fortunate to have studied under many masters, but in terms of acting, no one has inspired me more that Ryszard Cieślak.I studied intensively with Ryszard in Poland in 1977 and 1980, and again in NY during the final year of his life.

I have often been asked to share the work transmitted to me from him, the basic training of The Polish Theatre Laboratory, and now at last feel compelled to do so. For myself. And for Ryszard.

--This past Holy Week we hosted Dzieci’s new production of A Passion, andI was moved and thrilled. The use of Jewish vocabulary. The choice for shtetl costumes. The evangelist’s voice moving from person to person, along with the character of Jesus. The breaking and sharing of the bread and wine with the audience. The music. The Mourner’s Kaddish. The wonderfully understated physical acting;choreographed like a long, involved dance: a ritual, a liturgy indeed.
