An exceptional opportunity to work with Moscow’s extraordinary blackSKYwhite, and gain insight into their unique development process.

Each daily 3-hour session addresses different aspects of Mediatronic Theatre. “Alien Body” focuses on physical training, recognising and breaking the link between personality and movement, and observes the impact on space by geometric positioning and control of the body. “Time-Space” compositional training explores the concept of drawing virtual space around the body in order to give the illusion of physical objects being changed. Lastly, “The Cell” approaches the challenge of realising the techniques explored in a formal theatrical context.

"Astonishing, disturbing, truly indescribable. blackSKYwhite have created a new language of movement. "
