Private Practise – imrovisation according to director´s instructions
3 min peaces
Participants/ actors: highly gifted youth
Centre for the Highly Gifted Flörsheim
The setting:
A lecture. One person is standing on stage. The props comprise a projector,
a laptop, a desk and a chair. The person
on stage, facing the audience, enjoys their full attention. The movements
and speech of the person seem to be a unified whole. We are not, however,
in the theater but in a classroom at school, and the person on stage
is holding a 3-minute improvised speech on a picture or the contents
of something while moving according to given stage directions. The person’s
speech and movements are actually two separate entities, yet they are
still unified as a coherent whole from the audience’s perspective.
