Le corps qui conte
Un atelier avec Rachid Bouali
Je vous propose de retrouver la jubilation de l’enfance en plongeant dans le joyeux bain de contes, histoires, mythes, récits ou fabulations en tout genre. L’accent sera mis sur le corps qui conte et son rapport à l’espace. Il s’agira, pour commencer, de revisiter les bases fondamentales du mouvement : ancrage, lâcher-prise, poids, espace, rythme, flux, élans, rebonds, qualité du mouvement, détente et tonus, etc. Ce sera une occasion pour chacun et chacune de découvrir sa propre expressivité dans la détente et le plaisir.
Tout en nous appuyant sur les différents répertoires existants, cet atelier sera également l’occasion de tenter l’écriture orale à travers des jeux et des exercices individuels ou collectifs, et de nous interroger sur la symbolique et sur le regard que l’on porte sur l’histoire que l’on raconte.

The True Meaning of Once Upon a Time: Storytellers as Witnesses
Workshop with Jan Blake
Before telling a story, storytellers must ask themselves the question: Why do I want to tell this story? Do I want to be seen and heard? Do I want to impart the wisdom that this story holds for me? Or do I want to tell it because what I witnessed in my mind’s eye is so compelling that I am obliged to tell it?
Jan Blake, one of the world’s leading storytellers, believes that to tell a story, you must allow yourself to experience the story in a physical and nonjudgemental way. You must love every character, even the bad ones; you must have smelled and tasted and touched and heard and seen every moment in your story, viscerally. This utter engagement with the story is what makes it come truly alive.
In this three-hour workshop, Jan will invite the participants to walk the landscape of a story told by Jan, experience their favorite part of that story and then share it with the group, having lived it so profoundly that their words and their body will communicate with passion and aliveness the true essence of the story.
Please note that participants will receive an email ahead of the workshop with details about the location.
