Since my performance debout in Piccadilly Circus as a Busker I thrive to learn and educate myself in the techniques of presence, movement, crowd engaging, emotional truth, presence, plasticity of text. It's been 7 years since that debout, and I couldn't be more content with my path (Altought hungry for more knowledge).

Body. Voice. Interiority. These are the main ingredients that, in my opinion, are part of the foundations of a contemporary performer. A performer's body is ready to occupy a space and consciously manipulate it. A body that is aware of its state and present is powerful and clear in transmitting sensations. Also an healthy body can endure more and create a better plastic movement that can draw a better motif.

 

The voice, an inner, ethereal instrument. A instrument capable of plasticity of sound, timbre and consequently of arousing sensations to the body that can be later utilised for the interiority. There's no point in having a present, powerful, well-worked body if the voice doesn't accompany this dynamism. An actor who seeks the sensory response elicited by the sound of the voice can provoke dense emotional states and ensure clear and enjoyable communication.

 

Interiority is the result of the intersection of the two previous ingredients (voice and body). This is where the muse resides that accompanies the actors in their craft. It is the ability to be true in every moment, and to inhabit a space where you lend your body and voice to an entity that has something to say.
