Emmanuelle provides workshops and awareness actions  for an audience involved in artistic professions.

The actor is a medium of artistic expression, an interpreter! The main tool, the material of this humane interpret is the body and mind. Both are in an incessant interaction but obviously also in interaction with space, environment, time, the individual, and the collective. 

From body arises movement, expression, sound, voice, text, emotions, sensory imagination. The mind often directs or controls body and feeds imagination. Scenic space, environment, time and the other one shape it. Make up and garment dress it! 

The pedagogical aim is to prepare the actor, in those different areas, to take conscience of his or her physical potential and to explore it, by means of multidisciplinary techniques, starting with body.

“ Body, movement, emotion will lead us to speech and text. Sometimes, it is text and speech  that will lead us to action, to movement and to emotion.” 

These are two ways to work with text. 

“Above all, an actor has to be malleable and present!”. It is important for actors to be available and concentrated, so that they can be better directed. In order to be at the disposal of the director, they have to be ready at any time and to become a source of proposals. Actors must be ready to abandon themselves at the creative flow of interpretation and of artistic direction, confident and attentive.

It is by means of regular repetition of body exercises that I want to accompany and arouse actors and help them to cover, explore and  master their artistic potential. In my view, these are the main ways to secure, boost and reveal one’s performer!

Due to my career as an actor and dancer, my workshops are interpretation oriented and based on extended body expression in its widest sense: body, breath, volume, voice, diction, emotions, position in space,  in time, and relation to the other.
