ZOOM IN, ZOOM OUT Workshop
This workshop focuses on objects and details to create new images and new imaginaries. It is a cinematic and photographic investigation of object theater to expand the imagination of improvised performance. What worlds can emerge from an image in space and what is our relationship to it? Improvisation usually begins with an empty stage and invisible objects worked with pantomime. In this workshop, we work from the relationship with a concrete image of an object to expand our improvisation into a technical hybridization with cinema and photography, in order to rethink our scenic improvisation.
