Every play, every performance, and every character tells a story. This workshop explores the intersection of word and body by tapping into the collective unconscious and applying the work of Francois Delsarte and Joseph Campbell, two pillars of structural science when it comes to expressing stories. Participants will explore the science of gesture in relation to story making and character, as conceived by Delsarte, as well as the interpretation of plot and story through the lens of the mono-myth as conceived by Campbell.
