MÖT
KONSTNÄREN
För att inspireras och lära känna våra lärare i den dagliga träningen lägger vi här presenterationer av dem och deras konstnärskap.
I anknytning till den dagliga träningen på zoom med lärare och aktörer från olika mimbakgrunder verksamma i världen och Sverige idag har vi bjudit in till ett fördjupande möte. Vi har bett våra lärare/konstnärer att hålla en kortare presentation kring deras praktik och konstnärskap. Efter presentationen har vi öppnat upp för frågor och samtal . Vi hoppas att vi genom dessa möten kan stärka nätverket mellan professionella yrkesutövare inom fysisk teater.
Kom gärna med förslag till oss på konstnärer som ni önskar lära känna närmare och träna för.

Corporeal Mime is an approach to theatre based on the expressive power of the body. It is an independent art with its own technique, repertoire, vocabulary and creative processes. First conceived by Etienne Decroux in 20th century France today it is kept alive by dedicated practitioners across the globe.
Maks Litvinenko (Ukraina)
Mim artist, teacher, bboy and director of his solo performances. From 2005 to 2013, he was a member of the Break Dance Theater "Legion". In 2019, he graduated from the Kyiv Municipal Academy of Circus and Variety Arts and received a master's degree in pantomime. 2018–2021, he was a co-author and participant of the Mime Theater ILINASTROE (@ilinastroe).
He currently works in the Kyiv National Circus as a mime actor.
Class description: The teaching methodology is based on the modern Ukrainian vision (analysis, interpretation) of the "Mime Corporal" technique by Etienne Decroux. Main theses: - working out the local block in space and local movement; - the use of techniques and methods of classical pantomime in theatrical or physical performances (working with an imaginary environment); - combination of external choreographic form with meanings and feelings; - associative expressive plasticity in the format of improvisation.
