Introduction

The Poetics of the Body身体的诗意

An Embodied Storytelling Workshop Showing身体叙事工作坊展演

What happens when a story leaves the page and enters the body?

Over six weeks, seven storytellers draw on myths, fairy tales, fictions and personal memories, exploring the art of telling a story.

Using the physical theatre training of Jacques Lecoq and Giovanni Fusetti's approach, they experiment with movement, voice, space, rhythm, and imagination to discover how stories can be told through the body and voice. The Poetics of the Body is a sharing of this creative process.

Join us for an evening of discovery, imagination and experimentation.

This play will be performed in a combination of English and Mandarin.
