STAGE DE MASQUE NEUTRE
ARTISTIC PRACTICE
With Lionel Lingelser of Munstrum Théâtre
Lionel Lingelseractor and director, would like to share a fundamental exercise taught to him by Mario Gonzalez, a specialist in commedia dell'arte and masks: working with the Chorus, taken from his method entitled "L'Essentiel".
Using a method that combines fun and rigor, this workshop takes participants through the basics of acting: learning to breathe, to stand up, to enter the stage, to deal with stage fright, to address the audience, to behave, to respect your acting partner. How to become a fully-fleshed-out performer, so that the character embodied is more fulfilled and more real. It's a way of working on oneself to better approach the job of performing artist. Together, we'll create the work space, which is a neutral, delimited space, to allow the play to exist. Chorus work is a complex exercise based on gaze and balance. It requires participants to work hard at listening to themselves and to others, but also to be precise in their gestures and intentions. "It's about learning the body's solfeggio, and practicing it again and again" (Mario Gonzalez).

LIONEL LINGELSER
Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique de Paris, Lionel Lingelser created, in 2012, the Munstrum Théâtre alongside Louis Arène. Their approach to the stage is physically committed, casual and creative, reserving an essential place for all creators. Between stagings of contemporary texts and original creations, their work expresses a singular aesthetic gesture and a poetic radicalism at the service of societal themes.
His passion for masks has led him to develop a whole range of teaching methods based on physical theater, the body and masked techniques.
