“Lady and Lapdog”
How do you translate that?
FROM PAGE TO STAGE
a Geodramatic approach
With
NORMAN TAYLOR and AMY RUSSELL
“Lady and Lapdog”, Chekov’s short story, is imbued with everyday details, which a stage adaptation might generalize.
A geodramatic approach to the space/time of theatre focuses on everyday experience: rhythms, gestures, habits, snatches of conversation, processes of change, and multiple points of view.
During our 2-week workshop in Falun, Sweden a winter festival of actor creation. We will make collaborative forays onto the unmarked page of a new staging, traveling from the intensity of our cozy studio onto freshly fallen snow, across the frozen lake, and then back around the fires of imagination.
As a result of this process: We will develop our own versions of this classic tale, from which each person will take away a new approach to translating page to stage.
Some partial scholarships are available
Theatres of
everywhere-and-nowhere.
We’ll be expanding our creative vision in the breathtaking natural environments of the Swedish hinterland, then imaginatively spelunking our way into abandoned industrial spaces and tight concrete spots, as we devise in relationship to spaces and places.
