The Bridge of Winds, an international theatre research group directed by Iben Nagel Rasmussen (Odin Teatret), invites actors, dancers, and students to participate in an actor's training workshop, "The Heritage of the Wind".

 

The workshop, led by Iben Nagel Rasmussen and the actors of The Bridge of Winds,  founded on the pedagogical research the group and its master have developed during their 20 years of experience. The work involved the following: the wind dance, the four types of energy, the vocal training and the creation of dramatic scenes. The Bridge of Winds and Iben Nagel Rasmussen also presented performances and work demonstration every evening.

 

The workshop took place at Theatre La Maloca, directed by Beatriz Camargo, an important reference for Colombian culture, in particular for the colonial town of Villa de Leyva, known for its cultural and environmental richness.

 

This workshop was part of the cultural project "Canto de Amonitas", supported by the municipality of Villa de Leyva with the goal of cultural animation of the local population and involved seminars and a final cultural feast in the streets of the town. The participants of the workshop took part in this event presenting scenes and figures created during the work. The event concluded with the performance "Ur-Nat" with The Bridge of Winds in the main square of Villa de Leyva.
