Shadow Boxing

Synopsis

Videotaped source material for research purposes: follows a five-day workshop given by Enrique Pardo, founding director of Pantheatre, Paris, at Chisenhale Dance Space, London. Participants, through the disciplines of ensemble work and through structured improvisations and work on text, progressed towards some of the practices of ‘choreographic theatre’ - spatial and gestural dramaturgy, chorus and solo, the instinct for image. The material touches on the basic principles of Pardo’s work in this field. Pardo, born in Peru, was a member of the Roy Hart Theatre and teaches and directs internationally.
