The tools of clear, precise articulation
Seminar for Actors (in English)

The mouth is the physical support for language and thought, but it is also a space of resonance for the voice and an element of the faces expressive gesture. Speaking, singing, and expressing mean sculpting forms, tracing lines, setting space into movement through an infinite number of subtle variations.
During this series of lessons, by exploring simple but sometimes unaccustomed movements, executed with curiosity rather than effort, we shall rediscover the relaxation, flexibility, and fluidity of the different tools of differentiated articulation. We shall investigate the relationship between these elements, the cervical column, and all of our body parts. We shall see what happens, for example, when we stimulate the soft palate, which, through its mobility, plays a major role in the development of clear harmonics and light sound.
Because of the importance of the mouths presence at the level of the motor cortex, the differentiation exercises proposed will constitute a veritable dialogue with the nervous system and the self. We shall regain the possibility of clear, differentiated articulation that allows our face to assume all the richness of its expressions and gestures.
