JULY 10 — COMPOSITION / ARTICULATION

WORKSHOP DATE: 10 JULY 2026

WARM-UP

stretch arms upward;
stretch rib cage / whole body;
hang upper body down;
breathe;
squat and breathe;
sit;
lie down and breathe;
roll sideways;
return to squat;
rise slowly.

Breath / resonance: inhale; exhale with “ss”; exhale with “shh”; introduce sound; “zz” resonance. Tap ribcage, butt, back, chest, hands and legs; shake whole body; yawn; find throat growl; massage face; lip “brrr”; gradually widen vocal slides; hum; change pitch; find body resonance.

Group listening: sing one note, count to 3 and switch to another note heard in the circle.

Patterns: I / A / U — Do–So–Do glissando; Mi / Mu / Ma — Do–Mi–So–Mi–Do.

COMPOSITION STRUCTURE

Anthem progression: hummed → softly → louder → words → walking → running.

The structure combines:

song sequence: humming; humming to baby; some voice / karaoke; stadium;
ball game entering through feet;
expanded ball game;
circle breaking;
bench later incorporated.

Questions: How can glimpses of song remain? How can voice, song and physicality avoid becoming separate worlds? How do we “finish this cake”?

The improvisational structure is run three times to build, revise and apply indications.

GUILLAUME'S INDICATIONS

Recorded formulation: “I wonder if there is a world that…” He offers possibilities, questions and hypothetical worlds rather than only fixed commands.

ARTICULATION — WALL / LATERAL PLANE

Technical work involving head, bust and trunk. Each part is segmented and accumulated. Three processes:

restablishment / re-establishment;
Annelé — like a ring reconnecting one body part to another through segmentation;
contradiction.

Each section can rotate right/left, incline right/left, or move in depth backward/forward. The notes state that 8 different combinations on each side were available. Return action by action and section by section; then jump directly to the final shape without segmentation and return to neutral.

PARTNER TECHNICAL EXERCISE

In pairs, one person calls rotation, inclination or depth; the second person moves; an observer gives feedback.
