A Nordic interdisciplinary workshop for professional performers (actors and dancers) 14-18^th of May in Göteborg, Sweden.     

How does movement gain life and the voice its release?  Elements of Action is an advanced workshop exploring the inner aspects of action. During the workshop the performers will devise physical and vocal materials through use of external stimuli, and create sequences of action. These sequences (scores) will be the basis for improvisational work aimed to explore and discover the very personal and inner aspects of the Action (subscore).

The workshop is facilitated by Vahid, artistic director of Goosun Art-illery (DK/UK) and is based on methods developed in the international research project HamletZar - a project that over the course of several years have gathered a wide range of artists from different places and practices, to explore the craftsmanship of performing arts and its socio-ethical relevance.

This is a workshop that aims to provide participants with expertise in the use of audio and video in the artistic process.

"It's an intensive workshop with the aim to break down technological barriers and develop an expanding collection of conceptual and physical tools for today's digital filmmaking. We investigate how the Performing Arts toolkit can be applied to camera, sound and editing, using methods such as Robert Rodriguez Digital Storyboarding. We'll work with simple, mobile video technology that gives fast results and the work will presented and analyzed daily from both a technical and dramaturgical stand point with the entire group. The course is open both for those who want more guidance and those who want to explore their own ideas. Come prepared for film making!"
