QUOTES FROM OUR DESK
MIME EXERCISES with Auroville Film Institute
From 19 Nov to 23 Dec 2024 _ ONLINE, with Drupad Gaonkar
Mondays and Tuesdays, 19:00 to 21:00 hrs IST
COURSE OVERVIEW :
The world and life in it get an aesthetic meaning from the rich play of gestures and postures.
We “read” gestures, from the slightest movement of facial muscles to the most powerful movements of masses of bodies called “revolutions.” Likewise postures characteristic or assumed call for attention and make ripples of thought.
Gestures and Postures manipulate texts and objects that surround us.
We incessantly take postures, make and interpret gestures, but our attention dismisses them and focuses on their meanings—that we say, write, build, paint, photograph, film, record, seek, and love — Our interpretation of gestures and postures are reflexive and intuitive.
In this workshop we invite you to bring back our attention for a keen look into the world of gestures and postures.
Master Mime Drupad Gaonkar will propose and facilitate approaches towards individual and collective recognition, ideation, gesticulations, which shall be followed by discussions.
