The fundamental of the course are practical exercises in space. The students discover the position of somebody doing as well as of somebody observing, analysing and provoking. The primary focus is on the position of the director, it means the one who is observing and looking for how to develop an idea or an action just now and here.

The point is to be aware of the necessary balance between my own visions and expectations and impulsions appearing before my eyes. To be ready to follow. To develop the sensibility for the space, action and dynamic of being present on stage.
