Workshops: The 27th Rencontres Internationales de Théâtre en Corse

Supervised by experienced trainers, directors, artists and technicians, this production workshop is a unique experience, rich in exchanges and know-how, a wonderful collective adventure. The resulting plays are presented to the public in August in the villages of Ghjunsani.

The program includes several workshops: practice workshops in the morning and production workshops in the afternoon.

These workshops are held at the Rencontres Internationales de Théâtre en Corse, in the heart of Corsica's natural environment, allowing participants to explore theater techniques in the open air, and to confront the works they are working on with a powerful scenography, the natural backdrop of the mountains and forests of the Giussani valley. Over the course of the four-week training program, the trainees meet the public throughout the development phases of the work, in a spirit of exchange and popular education (contact with the territory, its inhabitants, customs and culture).

The strength of this training course also comes from the multiplicity of contributors from a wide range of demanding theatrical backgrounds, offering a diversity of genres and aesthetics that confront and mingle.

At the same time, the Acteurs en Herbe workshop welcomes between 15 and 20 children and teenagers who participate in the elaboration of a show invented together, presented outdoors in Pioggiola as part of the 27th Rencontres Internationales de Théâtre en Corse. The workshop, led by actors and trainers Angèle Canu and Simone Grenier, gives young amateurs the chance to experience theatre first-hand, by taking part in all the stages involved in creating a show.
The workshop will focus on 3 main areas:
- Physical and vocal preparation.
- Acting
- Construction, rehearsal and production.
Playful practice and the pleasure of acting will drive the group throughout the workshop.
