This workshop will attempt to focus on methods of application required when drawing on specific Indian Classical and Folk performance traditions to reinterpret a particular modern text for contemporary presentation. It will start with the transmission of a combination of movements and gestures from the basics of Odissi and Seraikella Chhau that enhance expressions centred in the pelvic core, the awareness of balance and the consciousness of presence of the performer. These basic techniques will serve as tools to improvise, interpret and “read” the text given to the performer. The work demonstration will show the effectiveness of the training in allowing the performer to own the technique and to represent in performance excerpts from The Plague by Albert Camus.
