ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at introductory work and ideas for training exercises that explore particular aspects of Eugenio Barba's and Odin's practice. Except where stated, all of the exercises come from workshops given by Roberta Carreri. It also looks at structures of workshops given by members of the Odin Teatret. These workshops explore aspects of training and approaches to creating material that could be developed as performance scores. The chapter develops a personal performance score and subscore. It is an account of two work demonstrations given by members of Odin, where the actors demonstrate how their approach to acting might be applied to working with given texts. The chapter explores three different ways of developing a montage: Creating a movement score from an initial action, and creating our own story from our associations with the physical score, Working with an object to create images and then a story, and Working from a given theme.
