課程內容：
著重在賈克樂寇技巧之最基楚的概念應用與練習，以及表演中身體與空間、時間、節奏、戲之間的關係。內容包括：無語言即興練習，動作分析，風火水土認同練習，以及中性面具等。

The workshop will emphasize the basic techniques of the Lecoq School, and also highlight the relationship between the performing body, space, time, rhythm as well as the play itself. The contents include non-verbal improvisation practice, analyzing movement, Masque Neutre and more.

課程規劃：

動作分析：我們將從人類日常生活之動作模仿與分析出發，發掘人類動作的法則。除此之外，動作分析還包括簡單的默劇、體操、戲劇遊戲，以及舞台打鬥動作，藉此找到人類動態的協調性以及表演之中最重要的元素﹣﹣遊戲。

即興練習：包含無語言狀態之即興練習，表演與節奏、空間的關係，想像力與表演策略之練習，顏色、文字、音樂、物質。

中性面具：中性面具（masque neutre)是一種沒有表情的面具。它代表的是一種完全平衡與協調的的肢體及心理的各種習慣與偏執拋開，回到如自然人一般的白紙。

劇種探索：我們將從推與拉的動態中，進入到以下三個劇種：通俗劇 (Melodrama)、悲劇 (Tregedy)、義大利即興喜劇 (Commedia dell' Arte)。

動作專題：課程內容將透過肢體活動的練習，體驗身體平衡與失衡的狀態、身體的協調性、與方向及空間的關係、直接單純的力量投射，進而將內在情境與肢體做平衡結合。

獨立創作：學員將在沒有老師的介入下，自行分組，依據每週第一天老師所提的表演題目，於獨立創作課中自行發展排練。然後於課堂中呈現。

Analyzing Movement : We will explore the rules of man's movement through imitating and analyzing movement in our daily lives. The analyzing of movement also includes mime, gymnatics, theatre games and fighting movements. Through all these practices, we will be able to look into the coordination of the body and also the most important element of performing - the 'game'.

Improvisation Practice : Includes non-verbal improvisation practice, performing and rhythm, relationship with space , imagination and performing tactics practice, colour, words, music and substance.

Masque Neutre : Masque Neutre is a mask without facial gestures. It represents physical and mental conditions that are totally balanced and coordinated. Under Masque Neutre, the actor must abandon all the physical and mental habits of oneself, and return to the most natural self, as if a piece of white paper.

Exploring the Genres : We will explore the following genres of drama through the condition of pushing and pulling, that is, Melodrama, Tragedy and Commedia dell' Arte.

Special Topic on Movement : Through the practice of physical movement, experiencing the balanced and unbalanced condition of the body, the conditional of the body in relation to direction and space, the direct and pure reflection of strength, eventually connecting the inner situation with physical movement.

Independent Creativity : The Participants will be divided into a few groups without the influence of the instructor. Participants will be given a topic and will need to rehearse and finally present it in class.

Since 2002, the dancers of Nyoba Kan have conducted their morning exercises in public parks, to allow their minds and bodies to absorb the energy of the outdoor environment.

The Lost and The Ecliptic 城失空想
2007 World Premiere @ KLPac, Malaysia

當傳統的的故事全身而退，你將會遇見一個視覺、聽覺以及經驗式的劇場異想世界。
When conventional story telling retreats, you will encounter a mysteriously wonderful world of theatre that is both experiential and hypnotic.

我們在城市裏浮游著，懷著各自的心事
流逝 流失 打開 掩埋 片斷 片段 記憶 時間 地圖 ……….
人 靈魂 身軀 幽魂
在看似幽閉的空間裏
尋找最後一絲的溫暖
我們和你 在下一刻來臨之前 又會走到哪里去呢？


Date and Time 日期 & 時間

4 – 6、9 – 13 October 2007 @ 8:30pm

7 & 14 October 2007 @ 3pm

Venue 地點
Pentas 2, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre

Unlike other theatre performances that concentrate on story telling and other elements act as a supporting roles, this performance will bring the usually neglected elements such as lighting and visual images into the lime light, putting them in an equal position with the performers. An ordinary black box will eventually transform into a magical space you would not have imagined.
此演出摒棄了一般傳統劇場以說故事為重心，其他元素皆為輔助劇情的發展的形式，轉而將習慣性被隱藏起來的視覺和聽覺元素，如燈光、影像等，和舞臺上的表演者們放在相同的位置上。一個原本平平無奇的黑色箱形劇場，將會在觀眾眼前變成一個你無法想像的魔幻空間。
