What To Do With The Spectator?

01 November, 2011

This workshop offers an opportunity to explore philosophical questions surrounding the idea of the spectator. The conductors, Supriyo Samajdar, founder of the experimental theatre group Bibhaban, and Jean-Frédéric Chevallier, do not aim to teach a particular theatrical technique. Instead, they intend to interrogate the actor-spectator relationship as a steppingstone towards understanding larger questions about human relationships. Participants will be led through scenic exercises, theoretical discussions and two short theatrical presentations. The workshop will conclude with an open discussion on the question: How does the audience build links with the stage?


What to do with the Spectator? Twice a week from 13 October to 3 December, Proscenium Art Centre, 46 AJC Bose Road, Kolkata. For more details, email [email protected]
