Workshop Presentation
The Rhythm of the Performance and the Actor’s Music
Led by Frans Winther
(Composer at Odin Teatret
Nordic Theatre Laboratory of Eugenio Barba)
1-3 July 2011
The workshop includes improvisations with voice training, song, speech and rhythm and movements. Each day begins with vocal warm ups as a combination of voice training exercises and exercises aiming at gaining theatrical volume and power of expression. During this intensive workshop actors, dancers, musicians, directors, singers work together concretely using voice, song and improvisations. These materials are progressively worked into a montage that clearly demonstrates how the dramaturgy of sound can be unfolded.
Theatre as Music– Music is a basic component in any kind of theatre. It may take the form of song and music or provide the rhythm that seeps into the dramatic structure of a performance. Frans Winther, the composer of the Odin Teatret has over a number of years developed a series of workshops, focusing on theatre as music. In the workshops actors, dancers, musicians, directors, students, drama teachers and singers work together concretely using voice, song, improvisations and montage.
Musical Dramaturgy – A performance is a symphony of words, images, movements, but also sound that provides the impetus to its artistic drive. The concept of musical tension is a complex phenomenon that is evident to the listener or the spectator yet hard to describe formally. The musical dramaturgy is a core point for the artistic result of any performance. It may be expressed through song, instrumental music, and the rhythm that underscores the dramatic structure of a performance.
The Workshop is structured as a Series of Sessions:
- Improvisation: Joint improvisations.Individual improvisation.
- Words and Music: Presentation of a poem as speech, talk song with underlying choral work or with a tune composed for the occasion. Group work with the individual poem, inserted into a musical context.
- Musical Dramaturgy: Research of musical options in words and sentences. A presentation is elaborated using individual songs. Some songs are transformed, new voices, or an instrumental accompaniment are added. The presentation is rehearsed, with special focus on tension.
Frans Winther studied composition at the Nordjysk Musikkonservatorium. Since 1987 in collaboration with Odin Teatret in Holstebro, Denmark. He composed music to theatre performances by the Odin Teatret, directed by Eugenio Barba. (more)

PREZENTAREA ATELIERULUI
Ritmul spectacolului şi muzica actorului
Condus de Frans Winther
(Compozitor la Odin Teatret/ Nordic Theatre Laboratory al lui Eugenio Barba)
1-3 iulie 2011
Teatrul ca muzică : Pentru Frans Winther, colaborator apropiat al lui Eugenio Barba (fost discipol al lui Grotowski) teatrul înseamnă muzică, prin urmare dramaturgia muzicală este o parte esenţială a unui spectacol. Cu o durată de trei zile, atelierul condus de Frans Winther cuprinde improvizaţii şi exerciţii de voce, cântec, vorbire, ritm şi mişcare. Fiecare zi începe cu încălzire vocală, ca şi combinaţie între exerciţii de antrenare a vocii şi exerciţii care au ca scop intensificarea prezenţei scenice. Pe parcursul acestui atelier intensiv actorii, dansatorii, compozitorii, regizorii, cântăreţii, coregrafii, instrumentiştii vor lucra împreună folosind în mod concret vocea, cuvântul, cântecul, corpul şi improvizaţia, în căutarea unor noi modalităţi de obţinere a tensiunii muzicale şi de fixare a dramaturgiei sunetului.
Atelierul este structurat pe următoarele teme:
- Improvizaţie: Improvizaţii în grup. Improvizaţii individuale.
- Cuvintele şi muzica: Prezentarea unui text ca discurs sau ca text cântat, acompaniat de o lucrare corală sau de o melodie compusă special pentru această ocazie. Grupul lucrează cu textul individual punându-l într-un context muzical.
- Dramaturgia muzicală: Căutarea posibilităţilor sonore din spatele cuvintelor şi frazelor cu un accent deosebit pe tensiunea muzicală.
Frans Winther a urmat studii de componistică la Musikkonservatorium.
Din 1987 e colaborator al Odin Teatret in Holstebro, Danemarca. A compus muzică de scenă pentru spectacolele lui Eugenio Barba de la Odin Teatret.
