"The actor is both an element of first importance, since it is upon the effectiveness of his work that the success of the spectacle depends, and a kind of passive and neutral element, since he is rigorously denied all personal initiative. It is a domain in which there is no precise rule, and between the actor of whom is required the mere quality of a sob and the actor who must deliver an oration with all his personal qualities of persuasiveness, there is the whole margin which separates a man from an instrument."
Artaud, The Theater and Its Double
The Boostan Home for Theater Dance Presents:
RE-SEARCH
A three-year program for creative dancers
The program targets creative individuals who wish to research what a contemporary dancer is and what contemporary dance is; those who wish to develop their creative space together with other artists, to enhance a thinking body into the creation of another artist and a personal work of art.
All applicants must be a minimum of 18 years of age.
The three-term school year will run from October to July.
In each term, students will both participate as dancers in a piece by a guest choreographer, and develop themselves as independent artists through different classes and workshops, theoretical research and artistic guidance for their personal work.
