Modern Times Stage Company presents a Goossun Art-illery Workshop with Visiting Artistic Director Vahid Evazzadeh (London/Copenhagen)

A five-day workshop for performers to strengthen essential physical and vocal techniques, based on the notion of pre-expressivity developed by Eugenio Barba and the Odin Theatre at ISTA.   Pre-expressivity is the focal point of Theatre Anthropology that studies the scenic behavior of performer in an organized performance situation. It scrutinizes the recurring principles of performer's extra-daily technique, which are common in all genres and styles. In this workshop the participants will be practically introduced to these techniques through exercise.

10 am - 6 pm  Fee: $275 gst included (maximum 12 participants) - 20% Discount for Equity Members.

Vahid is an award-winning theatre director and an actor trainer. He began his career in Iran as the director of an experimental theatre group whose main focus was research on acting. In 2001 Vahid left Iran for Holstebro, Denmark to study with Eugenio Barba and Odin Theatre. He closely  followed the work of Odin Theatre for several years. He has also studied with several masters of Oriental and Western theatre including Akira Matsui (Noh), Augusto Boal, Carlotta Ikeda, Augusto Omulú etc.
