Text, Action, Relations
Using an excerpt from Shakespeare's Othello Tage Larsen
and Julia Varley work on a dialogue between Othello and Iago in
front of the public presenting a process based on the creation and
elaboration of physical and vocal actions. The capacity of creating
physical and vocal scores is the result of years of training and
productions with Odin Teatret. Shakespeare's text is said in
English, while the explanations are in the language of the
spectators. Photocopies of the excerpt can be provided in English,
French, Italian and Spanish.
The impulse for this demonstration came from Tage's passion for
Shakespeare and the need to find working techniques that bridge the
physical vocabulary of Odin Teatret with written text.
The two actors, through improvisation and composition, develop a
dynamic physical score that becomes the foundation for their
encounter when they incorporate the text. They weed and meld the
physical material so that the score of actions does not interfere
with the sense of the scene itself, but contributes to the reading,
poetry and flow of the text.
On stage: Tage Larsen, Julia Varley
