IMPACTS: A Laboratory Tribute to James Hillman
Nettles Artists Collective will kick off the inauguration of its new home, Hudson River Hub, by welcoming backPantheatre (France) for a special laboratory, workshops and tribute to renowned American psychologist James Hillman, Pantheatre's main inspiring firgure and honorary president who passed away in 2011.  

Since 2008 Nettles Artists Collective has annually hosted Paris/Maleargues, Roy Hart Centre- based theater masters Enrique Pardo and Linda Wise for PanNYC - a series of workshops and lectures that take place in New York City. 

Pantheatre defines its aims in terms of "the affirmation of personal genius - character and musicality - and acommitment to what one has to voice, be it in speech, song, scream, silence, image or movement, or their synthesis in choreographic theatre". 

All work is for an "advance/professional" level - not necessarily in terms of technical proficiency or even performance experience, but rather in terms of personality and capacity to take risks (both psychological and professional).
 
The itinerary of events is as follows:
 
OPEN INTRODUCTION TO VOICE PERFORMANCE AND CHOREOGRAPHIC THEATER
April 26th  - 7pm -10pm
$20, (Open to all)
Masters Enrique Pardo and Linda Wise (Pantheatre -Paris) will introduce their work on Voice Performance and Choreographic Theatre. This evening participatory demonstration will give a solid idea of what their work is about for the events of the weekend and the five day workshop to follow.

10am-1pm - Voice Performance (Linda Wise)

Linda Wise is passionately engaged with a vision of the voice that addresses the widest possible perspective on each person's individuality. Her work is a dynamic blend of technical finesse and expressive risk in extended voice ranges. 
Enrique Pardo will work on some basic concepts of Choreographic Theatre, including "confronting and giving corporal form to (per-forming) one's fantasies." Enrique has performed and taught in Europe, North and South America and New Zealand.

Laboratorio 
 
Proposed themes for the week Laboratory Tribute:
  • Plot and Place: "If you find your place, you will find your voice".
  • Giambattista Vico/Gianbattista Tiepolo: “The Mythological Critique of Reason”.
  • Iconoclasm: acting out and the fear of images.
  • Krisis: Crisis, Critic, Cry 
  • Orpheus - drenched in sweat.
"James Hillman’s IMPACT on Pantheatre is mainly in the construction and figuring out of performance narrative, in what he called: making “image-sense”. It applies especially to the setting-up of texts in performance. Hillman was a master at narrative mobility, which is the most important aspect of our training: how to make amove. There is a lot of talk today of “non-narrative” theatre. Hillman makes us end up in something like “non-narrative narrative theatre”. (Enrique Pardo). Hillman Homage Page.
