Course description

Ramon Fontserè, actor and director of Els Joglars and one of the protagonists of the series Nit i dia, is one of this country’s most acclaimed actors.

The hours of this course will be used to work, in a simple and I hope fun way, three topics and objectives: the creation of a personal and non-transferrable character through the actor or actress themselves; the observation of real characters to be able to then play and use them as a source of inspiration for theatrical creation and, lastly, the transfer of impulses from these observed characters to the actor’s or actress’s body. We will also work to take advantage of musical impulses to reinforce a theatrical action. By playing this game, even in a virtually empty stage space, we can create different settings and climaxes.

Within the GREC 2017 Festival of Barcelona.
