Jean-Guy Lecat's The Essential Performance Space
When: Friday 11th July 2008 -> Wednesday 16th July 2008
Where: The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Castle Grounds, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3ER
An exploration of space, design and performance from 11th of July to 16th of July 2008.
Working with Jean-Guy Lecat, the renowned designer and theatre architecture consultant, this workshop for performance creators examines the dynamics of space, performance and inter-disciplinary collaboration within theatre.
The workshop explores the dynamics of the audience performer relationship, the essential simplicity of design and the collaborative ethos.
Working within an empty space, groups of young professional and student:
-Actors
-Architects
-Directors
-Lighting designers
-Set and costume designers
-Sound designers
-Theatre Technicians
work together over a five-day period, creating devised performances.
Supported by Sean Crowley and Ian Evans of RWCMD, co-designers of the PQ Scenofest stage, Jean-Guy’s workshop allows international participants to share in a journey that will reveal the full potential of working to create performance, within a truly focussed environment, in a way that refines spatial design to its essential purity.
The workshop is designed for 40 to 50 participants, working in 4 to 5 groups over 5 days.
The workshop is supported by a series of lecture presentations and visits to performance spaces that explore the theories that Jean-Guy has applied throughout his career.
On the final day, all participants will be taken to the Gower Peninsula, one of the United Kingdom’s areas of outstanding natural beauty for an informal celebration of the workshop, barbeque and beach party.
The workshop provides:
-Residential accommodation for the week
-A midday meal
-All materials and equipment
-Final celebration
