ABSTRACT

Thanks to training I have discovered my own language as an actress and the principles of stage presence. I have learned to direct this presence in space, to react, to combine the dynamism of physical actions with the sonority of vocal flow, and to distance myself from all that I had learned before in order to seek out new paths. Nowadays training is my microlaboratory where I search for outcomes that perhaps eventually will be addressed to a spectator. It is a non-public zone within the professional domain where I discover a terminology of my own. It is a fertile and personal resource from which ideas and characters, initial montages of texts, songs and sequences of actions can sprout. It is privileged terrain where I allow myself, as an actress, to fail while I search for new material and proposals. It is the interstice of independence from the director and from the current dominant interests and aims at Odin Teatret.
