In this workshop, we will develop the story of Antigone by Sophocles by using theatre games and exercises as social metaphors. Actors will script the play instead of playing the script. We will also use theatrical techniques to understand the characters emerging in the story of the play. After the development of the story we will implement several rehearsal techniques. Subsequently, movements, music and other aspects will be incorporated in the play’s structure.
Prerequisites: 1) Read carefully Antigone by Sophocles beforehand (preferably in your language), 2) Bring along instruments or objects that produce sounds.
Working language: English
Addressed to student and professional actors as well as dramaturgs and directors.
Jointly taught with Sanjoy Ganguly
