Artmedia News
Welcome to the December 2008 edition of the Artmedia physical theatre newsletter, your e-publication with an Australasian focus and a global perspective, now in its seventh year and reaching over 2,300 subscribers.
As we come to the end of another tumultuous
year in the world, a context in which creative work can seem a luxury, we
have to remember that it is the creative,
community building work that we do, that is going to carry us through these
growth pains of the new millennium. We wish everyone on the list an
enjoyable holiday season and all the best for 2009.
In the Sponsorship this month we welcome back Dell'Arte International School
of Physical Theatre with news of their Bali Intensive. Dell'Arte has offered
this extraordinary immersive experience since 1996. This is a unique
opportunity to study traditional Balinese performing arts and crafts with
village masters, as well as Dell'Arte mask and movement techniques.
In the Playspace section I announce a new Clown Intensive in Sydney in March and there could be a place coming available on my New Zealand Clown Retreat in January, so email me if you want to be put on the waiting list.
As we have a bit of a circus theme in this issue, I have included the basic three ball juggling exercise from Angels Can Fly. I suspect most people on this newsletter can juggle, but you may be interested in reading the Coaching Tips, particularly if you teach. I've been encouraged that the book has recently started making it into high school libraries in New Zealand.
In the Features this month we have a week long Clown Workshop with Clare Bartholomew beginning December 19th in Melbourne, Australia. Performers will discover and explore their clown characters using a variety of techniques. This workshop is for experienced performers, but doesn't require experience in clowning.
And we have
Contact Improvisation Workshops with Andrew Harwood being offered around
Australia beginning January 19th. The Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth workshops
each run for one week with a weekend intensive in Byron Bay. Andrew is
recognised as an exceptional international teacher, performer and creator in
the field of Contact Improvisation. These workshops are open to people with
any level of experience.
In Networking we have a final call
for theatre movement workshops with Giovanni Fusetti in New
Zealand. Sessions are in Auckland and Wellington. And the application
deadline for the New Zealand International Comedy Festival is almost here --
December 5th, so be quick if you plan to apply. And in Christchurch, a
Clown/Comedy Workshop with Fraser Hooper is being organised to coincide with
the buskers festival at the end of January.
Circus Kumarani in Dargaville, NZ, are inviting everyone to the 4th Northland Circus Festival, January 21st - 25th. This is a family festival with lots of circus skills workshops, games, shows and fun for all ages and abilities. And in Australia, Circa is offering a Summer Program for Adults in Brisbane. It starts December 8th, so you'll need to act quickly to book a place.
In the USA,
Stanley Allan Sherman of Mask Arts Company is offering a Short Winter
Commedia dell'Arte Workshop in New York, December 28th to 31st. This
workshop is geared to the Teacher, Professional in the Theatre and Theatre
Students. Some partial scholarships are available based on need. Also in New
York, Artistic New Directions is offering their Performance Development Lab,
"Anything Goes", to all types of performance projects being launched and/or
developed at no obligatory cost to the artists. And CircusYoga®
Level 1 Teacher Training is being offered in New York, January 9th to 11th.
If you are a skilled Circus Act, The Generating Company is casting a
Singapore-based Musical Circus Show with an East meets West theme.
Rehearsals begin in 2010 for a mid-2010 opening. In Rotterdam, The
Netherlands, Formaat is holding two master classes in Theatre of the
Oppressed with the renowned Jokers, Bárbara Santos and Hector
Aristízabal. The master classes are part of an international training
program and are meant for people with at least basic experience in Theatre
of the Oppressed practice.
In Paris,
France, Salon Mondial du Cirque is holding the Second World Circus Trade
Show, where the objective is "to create a space-time and a meeting point for
all protagonists of the Circassian world to promote the circus arts." And
Circus Artists from all over the world are cordially invited to showcase
their skills and compete on an international level at the
7th International Variety and Circus Festival in Dresden, Germany. The
application deadline is January 15th.
We aim to provide an avenue of communication for the physical theatre
community, so send us information for inclusion in this newsletter, and
please also forward this to someone else who may be interested.

Sponsor: Dell'Arte Abroad Bali Intensive
Explore the traditional arts of Bali with Dell’Arte Abroad program
February 9 –March 12, 2009
An intensive
which offers a chance to study Balinese dance, mask making and shadow
puppetry
Since 1996, Dell’Arte International has invited students, teachers, designers, directors, and artists to immerse themselves in the traditional arts of Bali and encounter the profound spirit of the Balinese people. In this unique and wonderfully successful program participants study traditional Balinese performing arts and crafts with village masters, as well as Dell'Arte mask and movement techniques led by Dell'Arte's Founding Artistic Director Joan Schirle.
Bali is an extraordinary country where creativity is ordinary. In Bali, art serves the community, the religious practices, the economy and everyday living. The trip introduces students to Balinese performing arts in a way that allows them to experience how the Balinese live and create, and how family life and religious customs are woven into the creation of art.
The program
begins with three days of orientation to the language, customs, and
ceremonies of Bali, as well as informal meetings with Balinese teachers to
observe their work. Introductory work will include a symposium on masks with
local carver I.
B. Anom, visits to the studios of several mask carvers and puppet makers,
and attendance at a shadow play (wayang kulit)
and dance performances.
During the next four weeks of formal study, classes meet five days a week. All students will study kecak, a rhythmic vocal chant, as well as participate in regular Yoga/Alexander Technique sessions, block printing, and symposiums on the links between Balinese and western mask performance traditions.
Sometimes our study will take place in a classroom setting, sometimes outdoors, and often in its traditional setting at village and temple ceremonies. The core of the program is designed so that each student spends a large percentage of their class time on one area of interest most important to them. Students will choose between:
Mask Carving
Balinese Dance (masked topeng and legong)
Shadow puppetry (wayang kulit)

9. Exercise: Basic Three Ball Juggling
INDIVIDUAL / PAIR / WORKSHOP
This is a five-step 'learning to juggle' process, which is very good for demonstrating how we learn, and so bringing the learning process more into the conscious realm.
Step One: With a ball in each hand, and hands in front of us at waist level, throw one up to eye height, and catch it in the same hand, then the other, and so on. At this stage we are just getting used to the rhythm of one after the other, with each ball thrown to eye height, so that the throws become even. Hands remain down at waist height for the catch, rather than going up to find the ball, which destroys the timing.
Step Two: The crossover. Throw the first ball with the hand you are most comfortable with, on an angle to a point above the other hand, and as it is about to fall, throw the second ball on an angle to a point above the first hand. The key thing to watch is the moment that the first ball starts to fall, and use this as an impulse to throw the second one. Don't worry so much about the catches to start with, but what we are looking for here is a four-beat rhythm, where one and two are throws and three and four are catches, and the beat is regular.
Step Three: Pick up a third ball and hold it in the hand you are throwing first with; this hand now holds two balls. Repeat step two, throwing only the first and second balls, and just get comfortable with the feel of the third ball in the hand.
Step Four: Throw the first ball, as it is about to fall throw the second, as it reaches the top and is about to fall, throw the third, or get it out of your hand in some way; drop it. Don't worry about catching it, just find the throwing rhythm by watching those moments where a ball is about to fall.
Step Five: If you've got the one, two, three, you can of course when the third ball is about to fall, throw the fourth, and as it is about to fall throw the fifth, and so on. At this stage, count your throws and see how far you get. Challenge yourself each practice to go further than the last time.
Coaching TipsMany people say they can't juggle, but it is just that they have not learned the steps in the process, and so when they find they can do it, they are overjoyed and value the learning experience. What stops them firstly, is that they say they "I can't" and nothing is possible from this position. Rather say 'I haven't yet' and leave open the possibility of learning it.
The next thing that stops people, is that they are going straight for a result: juggling, rather than following the process of learning ball skills.
But the biggest thing that stops people from progressing is their habits and patterns. They tried juggling once, and got so far with the learning, and ever since then when they pick up some balls, they repeat the same process and do not advance it.
This is the biggest barrier, and is normally why people in this position require a teacher to guide them past this point. If you are working with this individually, you will have to push your limits consciously to overcome your habits.
One final comment on juggling: it is a physical activity which requires the mind to largely stay out of the way, and allow the physical focus. Relaxed breathing helps, rhythmic music can be good, and the practice is best undertaken for brief periods regularly, because we set in place bad patterns once we become tired, and the body absorbs the learning in between practices.
"Clown is a fascinating, diverse, complex and exciting art form, which has existed around the planet for thousands of years. Like any art form it has to evolve to stay relevant to the culture nurturing it, and at the same time, and by its very nature, clown teases and turns upside down the cultural patterns and boundaries around us."
